Farah, Woods and Richards were all named last night in the Tigers’ round one team.
Club officials believe the three players will recover from the boils in time for Sunday’s game.
“We have had a bit of an outbreak,’’ conceded Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter. “It was best that we isolate them from training.

“We are expecting three of the four guys to play this weekend.
“A few other clubs have also had an outbreak.’’
Farah will play with added responsibility this year after Benji Marshall quit the club for rugby union.
“I think Robbie wants young Luke Brookes there and having Braith (Anasta) there is also good for Robbie,’’ Potter said.
“Robbie tries too hard sometimes. I think the pressure is actually off Robbie to try and do everything.
“He is looking forward to playing with Luke and some of the other young guys coming through. He sees the potential, as we all do.’’
