Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has made several late changes to his side ahead of tonight's Round 11 clash against Parramatta.
Promising young forward Shawn Blore will become Wests Tigers Player #235 after he was named to make his first-grade debut off the interchange bench.
Blore is the fourth player to make their NRL debut for Wests Tigers this season.
After a convincing 48-0 victory over the Brisbane Broncos in Round 10, injuries to Thomas Mikaele (knee) and Luke Garner (concussion) see a handful of changes to this week's team with Sam McIntyre set to the start the first game of his career.
McIntyre starts in the back row — with Michael Chee Kam dropping back to the bench — while Oliver Clark joins the bench alongside Luke Brooks and Blore.
