Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has finalised his side to take on the Cronulla Sharks for their Round 25 clash today at Leichhardt Oval.

Kickoff for the match is at 2:00pm AEST with live coverage via FOX League.

After scoring strong back-to-back wins over the Knights and Dragons in the past fortnight, Maguire has named the same side for a third week in a row with Ryan Matterson named to start at hooker with Matt Eisenhuth at lock.

Josh Reynolds drops back to the bench for his 150th NRL game, where he is joined by Elijah Taylor, Alex Twal and Michael Chee Kam.

Tommy Talau and Robbie Farah will warm up at Leichhardt as 18th and 19th Man as Wests Tigers look to secure their first finals appearance since 2011.

Cronulla are also unchanged with Shaun Johnson confirmed to start — the only adjustment from Coach John Morris is the late switch between Andrew Fifita and Aaron Woods, with the latter dropping back to the bench.
