Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has finalised his side to take on the Newcastle Knights on Saturday afternoon for their Round 23 clash at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Kickoff for the match is at 5:30pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to bounce back from a last start defeat and keep their hopes at playing finals footy alive.

Maguire has confirmed one change from the team named during the week with Josh Reynolds set to come off the bench at hooker for his first NRL game since Round 7.

Matt Eisenhuth moves in to the run-on side in jersey 14.

Luke Garner and Robert Jennings also return to the side for the must-win clash while Benji Marshall will captain the side with Moses Mbye sidelined.

For the Knights, Coach Nathan Brown has opted for a late change with Tim Glasby to start at lock in place of Josh King, who drops back to the bench.
