Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has finalised his side to take on the Penrith Panthers for their Round 16 clash tonight.

After the birth of his child, Josh Aloiai will miss tonight's game with Matt Eisenhuth shifting in to the run-on side. Sam McIntyre joins the interchange list alongside Jacob Liddle, who drops back to the bench with the return of Harry Grant.

Thomas Mikaele is the only other change from last week's loss to the Roosters, with the talented young prop starting in the front row in place of Russell Packer.

Packer's omission sees Panthers junior Shawn Blore join the bench.

Penrith are unchanged from the side originally named during the week, with Mitch Kenny starting in place of Apisai Koroisau. Tyrone May has been promoted to the starting side as part of a forward pack reshuffle — replacing Viliame Kikau — with Moses Leota returning to the bench.
