Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs tomorrow afternoon, with a forced change on the interchange bench.
Thomas Mikaele will drop out of the squad after picking up a minor knee injury throughout the week and is replaced by local junior Alex Seyfarth, who returns to the side for his first game since Round 5.
Jacob Liddle is confirmed to make his long-awaited return from a knee injury in what will be his first game of the year — drawing praise from Maguire during the week for his work-ethic and resilience in fighting his way back from injury.
Joey Leilua has also been named and is expected to play having been granted an immediate return to the club's bubble on Thursday night.
AJ Kepaoa and Elijah Taylor remain in the side as reserves, with Shawn Blore joining Mikaele as the players to drop out of the squad.
Final team lists for both sides will be provided one hour prior to kickoff.
