All the Round 15 team news!

Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has named all of the club's Representative players will take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs this Thursday night for their Round 15 clash.

With eight players in action throughout the Representative Round weekend, Wests Tigers have been boosted by their inclusion for Thursday's important clash against the Rabbitohs at Bankwest Stadium as Maguire's side look to build on their Golden Point victory over the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 14.

Captain Moses Mbye will feature at centre after overcoming an allergic reaction while away on State of Origin duties, with Corey Thompson named at fullback.

Esan Marsters, Benji Marshall, David Nofoaluma and Robbie Farah have all been named after their respective international commitments, with the only change to the side that of Josh Aloiai, who moves to the run-on side in place of Ben Matulino.

Matulino has not been named this week due to a minor knee injury.

His omission sees Elijah Taylor add some extra experience to the bench, with the forward returning for his first NRL game since Round 8 — rounding out the interchange list with Jacob Liddle, Thomas Mikaele and Michael Chee Kam.

After making a successful return from injury in Round 14 via Canterbury Cup, Josh Reynolds has been named in the reserves in jersey 20, with Paul Momirovski, Chris McQueen and Oliver Clark also named as part of the initial 21-man squad.

South Sydney have been boosted by the return of several key players with Adam Reynolds (back), Braidon Burns (hamstring) and George Burgess (illness) named.

Their inclusions see Kyle Turner and Junior Tatola drop back to the bench.

Damien Cook, Cameron Murray and Dane Gagai have all been named following their State of Origin commitments on Sunday, meaning the only big names the Rabbitohs are missing are Tom and Sam Burgess — the latter of whom has been named in the extended squad in jersey 21 as he nears a potential return from injury.

Wests Tigers will update its squad to take on the Rabbitohs to 19 players at 7:50pm AEST tomorrow night, with final team lists confirmed at 6:50pm on Thursday.
