Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Canberra Raiders tomorrow for their Round 5 clash at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Maguire has confirmed an unchanged team from the one originally named during the week with Corey Thompson and Billy Walters dropping out of the side.

Benji Marshall and Luke Garner remain in the squad as reserves, with both sides to confirm their final 17-man team lists hour prior to kickoff (6:35pm, Saturday).

After last week's loss to the Gold Coast Titans, Maguire has named a new-look Wests Tigers for Saturday's clash against the Raiders with Josh Reynolds called in to the halves alongside Luke Brooks. Tommy Talau and Russell Packer both join the squad for their first game of the 2020 season, while Zane Musgrove and Michael Chee Kam also return to the side for the first time since Round 2.

Thomas Mikaele drops back to the bench with Chris Lawrence set to start.
