The Wests Tigers are facing a tough battle ahead as they prepare to take on the North Queensland Cowboys next week, with several key players doubtful to make the lineup after sustaining injuries in their recent clash against the New Zealand Warriors.
Rising star winger Luke Laulilii is set to sit out the upcoming match as he follows the mandatory concussion protocols, while the seasoned centre Starford To'a has aggravated his hamstring injury and is looking at an extended period on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.
However, fans can take solace in the likely return of Adam Doueihi to the lineup, after being rested in the previous round, although the absence of Justin Olam due to a knee injury remains a cause for concern.
"Starford's done his hamstring," lamented Benji Marshall post-game, as the Tigers brace themselves for an intense showdown against the Cowboys.
With their roster depleted and facing tough opposition, the Tigers will need to dig deep and rally together to secure a victory on the field.
