Wests Tigers Coach Jason Taylor has confirmed some big injury news heading into Sunday's Round 7 game against the Melbourne Storm at Leichhardt Oval.

With captain Aaron Woods already sidelined due to an ankle injury, Taylor has confirmed Samoan international forward Sauaso Sue will miss the match with concussion, while Jack Buchanan will also be unavailable for selection due to a foot injury suffered at training.

David Nofoaluma and Kevin Naiqama are also both in doubt for the game, with the pair needing to pass a fitness test at training on Saturday to be included for the game.

Wests Tigers will confirm a final team for the game at 3:00pm on Sunday.

If Sue played I gave us a good chance of an upset. Now I don't, storm by 10.

P.S why are we the only ones I ever see have a player miss a game through concussion? All for player welfare, just shits me when I see other teams have a guy laying on the ground completely knocked out and backs up 5 days later with nothing said.

Damn shame about sue being out he has been great this year. At least Buchanan is out too, Taylor might be forced to include someone who can play football.

Storm to destroy us.

Any news on whether Nofoaluma & Naiqama are playing?

I've seen a few people say they're both playing but nothing confirmed. Hard to tell with no NSW cup yesterday.

If they're out id say Chee Kam and AddoCarr come in to the 3/4 but knowing Taylor he'll put Lovett out there somewhere and bring in Cherrington to the bench.

Excited to see JAC and JJ Felise debut. JAC is the quickest guy I've ever seen play footy. Hoping he is more Nathan Blacklock then Joven Clarke.

Felisse has been a stand out prop in the NYC for over a year now, saw him play NSW cup earlier this year and was the best forward on the field.

Still tipping the storm but think our side is better balanced then expected.

Changed my tip to the Tigers at the last second. I instantly regret this decision.
