Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Parramatta Eels for their Round 17 clash at Bankwest Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

Kickoff for the match is at 4:05 pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to bounce back after their loss against the defending premiers, Sydney Roosters last weekend.

Benji Marshall has one again been named in the halves alongside Luke Brooks in what will be his 300th NRL game. Captain Moses Mbye has been named to return in the centre as he returns from the Queensland Maroons camp.

Ben Matulino (knee) remains sidelined, allowing Josh Aloiai to start up front alongside Alex Twal, with Matt Eisenhuth once again filling the lock role.

Josh Reynolds and Oliver Clark have dropped out of the 21-man squad named earlier in the week while Paul Momorovski and Chris McQueen remain in the 19-man squad after joining the team for their final session at Leichhardt Oval today.

Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed at 3:05 pm AEST on Sunday.
