Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for their Round 7 clash tomorrow night at Bankwest Stadium.

Kickoff for the match is at 6:30pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season following an impressive last start victory over the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 6.

After a strong week of training, Maguire has confirmed no changes to his side as yet with Benji Marshall and Chris Lawrence remaining in the squad as reserves.

Long-term injuries to Robert Jennings (hamstring), Zane Musgrove (foot) and Alex Twal (knee) have brought about three changes from last week's side; Oliver Clark returns to the squad in place of Musgrove, while Matt Eisenhuth shifts to lock in place of Twal with Elijah Taylor joining the bench.

Tommy Talau also makes a timely return from injury to replace Jennings on the wing in the only other change to the 21-man squad from Round 6.

Last week’s debutant Sam McIntyre retains his spot on the bench after a strong showing on debut, while Luciano Leilua is set to play his 50th NRL game on Sunday.

Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed at 5:30pm, Sunday.
