Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has finalised his side to take on the North Queensland Cowboys today with some late changes.

After strong back-to-back performances in the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, Joey Leilua has been recalled to the side and will start today's game in the centres.

His inclusion sees Moses Mbye drop back to the bench while Michael Chee Kam will return to the reserves and will be the designated 18th Man.

Joe Ofahengaue will also start in the back row for the first time since joining Wests Tigers, with Luke Garner reverting back to the bench.

Wests Tigers are looking to extend their strong winning run over the Cowboys at Leichhardt Oval, with the visitors not tasting success at the venue since 2000.
