NRL Team Update: Round 8

Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach Ivan Cleary has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Parramatta Eels tomorrow afternoon for their Round 8 clash.

Kickoff for the match is at 4:00pm AEST from ANZ Stadium, Sydney.

After picking up a concussion in last week's loss to the Newcastle Knights, Elijah Taylor has been ruled out of tomorrow's match against Parramatta after failing to pass his concussion test.

Josh Aloiai moves in to the starting side at lock as his replacement, while Tim Grant moves on to the interchange bench for his first appearance in the first-grade side this season.

Tyson Gamble and Mahe Fonua have both been retained in the 19-man squad as reserves. 

Parramatta have named the same squad as listed earlier in the week, with no changes expected for the blue and gold. Kane Evans and Cameron King have been omitted from the 21-man squad.

Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed one hour before kickoff (3:00pm, Sunday).
