Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the St. George-Illawarra Dragons tomorrow.

Kickoff for the match is at 4:05pm AEST from WIN Stadium, Wollongong.

With Zac Cini confirmed to make his NRL debut in place of James Roberts, Wests Tigers are otherwise unchanged from the side originally named during the week.

Joey Leilua will return in the centres with Thomas Mikaele on the bench.

Michael Chee Kam and Jacob Liddle remain in the 19-man squad as reserves with Zane Musgrove and Tom Amone dropping out — instead set to feature in the curtain-raiser Knock-On Effect NSW Cup clash against the Dragons.

St. George-Illawarra have also confirmed an unchanged side from the one named during the week with Jackson Ford and Junior Amone retained as reserves.

Final team lists will be confirmed one hour prior to kickoff (3:05pm, Sunday).
