Wests Tigers Physiotherapist Peter Moussa provides all the latest injury news and updates heading into the Club's Round 16 clash against the Penrith Panthers.

With Robbie Farah (shoulder) and Sauaso Sue (shoulder) both expected to return for Sunday afternoon's match at Leichhardt Oval, Wests Tigers have also been boosted by the expected inclusion of Kevin Naiqama, who injured his finger in last Friday night's game.

However, David Nofoaluma — who only returned from injury in Round 14 against South Sydney Rabbitohs — is expected to miss four to six weeks with another knee injury.

"Nofoaluma's got a Grade Two tear to his medial ligament of his knee," said Moussa.

"He's in a brace at the moment, and doing a bit of rehab training on that knee.

"It's probably going to be about four to six weeks [recovery] at this stage."

Moussa also confirmed that Curtis Sironen (neck) and Chance Peni (jaw) have seen marked improvements in their recovery, with the duo resuming light training. Both players are still sidelined for an indefinite period of time as they continue their rehabilitation.

Nofoaluma is having a tough season… I'm sure he'll be back in the coming years doing miraculous things...

It doesn't look good for nofo considering he had a huge lay off last year. He was meant to hit this year fresh. I don't get it.

I thought JT said Noffa will need surgery to clean things up.

Why wouldn't they do that now so that he's ready to go for round 1 next year? No point coming back for 4 or 5 games and then having off season surgery again.

Agree. Have surgery now and be the force we know he is next year.

Its funny how we finally get a good run with injuries yet we still suck.

I'm sometimes wonder what Potter could have done with an injury run like this year.
