Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Gold Coast Titans for their Round 16 clash tomorrow at Campbelltown Stadium.
Kickoff for the match is at 7:50pm AEST from Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
Cleary has confirmed one change following Wednesday's bruising State of Origin encounter, with fullback James Tedesco ruled out of the contest after picking up an ankle injury.
While he won't feature this weekend, the injury is not expected to be long-term.
Tedesco's absence will see Fiji fullback Kevin Naiqama shift back to fullback and Malakai Watene-Zelezniak return to the wing, as per last week's team that took on the Cronulla Sharks.
In better news, Blues teammate Aaron Woods has been named in the starting side and is expected to back up less than 48 hours after Game II and take to the field against the Titans.
New recruit and rookie forward Alex Twal (21) has been retained in the squad as cover alongside Jack Littlejohn (19) while Joel Edwards (20) drops out of the 19-man squad.
See all the updated team news for both sides this week, thanks to Fowlers Carpets!
Be there at Campbelltown Stadium when we take on the Titans for Friday Night Football!
