The Wests Tigers have provided an update on seven injured players ahead of their season opener against the Canberra Raiders. Justin Olam (knee), Latu Fainu (hamstring), Brent Naden (shoulder), Josh Feledy (shoulder), and Solomone Saukuru (shoulder) will be sidelined for the next two weeks, with an expected return for Round 4.
Sione Fainu, Latu’s older brother, is also out with a foot injury and is expected to return in Round 5. Adam Doueihi, who ruptured his ACL last year, is set to return for Round 17 after suffering a high-grade partial tear in his left knee, marking the third injury on that knee in his career.
Ahead of their match against the Canberra Raiders this weekend, Benji Marshall has chosen to include two debutants, Lachlan Galvin and Solomona Faatape, in the squad for Saturday’s game.
