Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary has finalised his side to take on the Gold Coast Titans this afternoon for their Round 16 clash at Leichhardt Oval.
After the stand-alone Representative Round last weekend, Cleary has confirmed a few late changes to the side originally named during the week with Ben Matulino ruled out with a minor injury.
Matulino, who has played every game for Wests Tigers this year, suffered an injury against the Raiders and it has been slow to respond this week. With the bye next week, the club has erred on the side of caution and has replaced the 29-year-old in the run-on side with Alex Twal, who earns the first start of his career.
Chris McQueen also earns the first start of his Wests Tigers career with Josh Aloiai dropping back to the bench, where he joins fellow forwards Sauaso Sue, Michael Chee Kam and Matt Eisenhuth.
Moses Mbye will formally make his club debut and become Wests Tigers Player #218 as he starts the match at fullback, while Robbie Farah starts his first game in Wests Tigers colours in over two years.
Esan Marsters (New Zealand) and Kevin Naiqama (Fiji), along with Aloiai and Chee Kam (Samoa) have all been named to back up for Wests Tigers after featuring throughout the Representative Round.

Coach: Break came at a good time
Cowboys head coach Paul Green has drafted in rookie second-rower Shane Wright to make his season debut from the interchange with Corey Jensen moving to the starting side.
Wright made his NRL debut in Round 24 last season, which marks his only appearance in the top grade to date.
The 22-year-old second rower has been in impressive form for the Mackay Cutters in the Queensland Cup in recent weeks after missing much of the first half of the season through injury.
