Jarome Luai is out of Friday’s clash against Manly as he deals with a boil on his chest.

Luai did not feature at Thursday’s captain’s run at Concord, and when asked about the co-captain’s absence, coach Benji Marshall told this masthead he was simply resting because of the heavy workload – and the fact he was about to play a third game in nine days.

Adan Doueihi slotted into five-eighth alongside new halfback Latu Fainu and Luke Laulilli trained at left centre.

But Api Koroisau is expected to move into the halves against Manly, with Tallyn Da Silva to start at dummy-half.

Marshall spoke a day earlier about why the club were keen to extend Koroisau, 32, ahead of 20-year-old Da Silva who has since met with four rival clubs – and is a chance of departing the Tigers by Monday’s transfer deadline.

Luai is being treated for a boil, which is not expected to impact his chances of taking the park for NSW in the Origin decider on July 9.

In addition to losing Luai the gump
Talau has pulled out due to injury & been replaced by a superior player in Saab.Manlys backline have got to be the quickest in the competition.I hope we don’t get flogged.

f**k. This is shit.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Geez that suck with such an important winnable game. We are really relying on Manly to shit the bed now

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

We'll get belted now.

So TDS is out the door and now they decide to play musical chairs and give him a full game. This could have been done any number of times earlier in the season. Why now?

#Sack Marshall

 

[WA Tiger]

It’s not that bad. In fact it looks reasonable

Lance the thing and get out there and play with a bandaid and black ointment on it.
I haven't heard of boils for decades, we used to get them all the time as kids, the worst ones on the legs, they used to warm up a milk bottle and put the bottle over the boil and it would suck it out hahaha

 

[WA Tiger]

That’ll be the gold chain. He needs to downsize

 

[Ned Kelly]

I hope we don’t get flogged.

Looking that way.

Round 17: Media Wrap

As Wests Tigers prepare to face Manly on Friday evening at 4 Pines Park, the week’s media spotlight fell on some of the club's leaders and emerging stars.

Looking that way.

Why not play Turuva at fullback, and bring in Tu’itupou or Laulilii onto the wing, or even Staines.
Stop playing people out of position.
Turuva is a fullback if you ask the pampers,
Mason is a half,
Api is a hooker.
Maybe Benji should play big red at fullback and May on the wing to stiffen the D.

That black ointment was probably Magnoplasm...worked well getting out splinters too Tm.
My mum used to use hot bread poultices as well. Boils are not seen much these days as you said.

Yeah, the ones on the bum were painful and the most embarrassing hahaha

 

[Nutz]

@TheDefinitionOfMadness So what's the reason of having a lightweight winger on the bench?
Maybe he will go to fullback or let Turuva go to fullback and Luke to wing. sheenius

 

[Nutz]

Yeah, the ones on the bum were painful and the most embarrassing hahaha

Didn't your mates suck it out?

 

[Tigerm]

Didn't you mates suck it out?

Only my mother knew and no she didn't. hahaha

 

[Nutz]

If tigers win: it's a wet game so maybe a low score, tigers 18 - 12.
May man of the match.

 

[Pezz70]

She’s done it again, Casey rips our challenge from us Brooks clearly playing the ball on that strip
