bad news hes out for about 3 months just like Ellis

Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter says the injury-riddled club may have to go to the market to scour for reinforcements amid fears Marika Koroibete's foot injury could be worse than first suspected.

Koroibete limped off Leichhardt Oval in Friday night's win over Parramatta and club medicos thought he may have suffered a similar injury to the one which sidelined Gareth Ellis for three months last year. The Fijian winger had scans on the injury on Saturday and is hoping for good news.

The Tigers already have a bulging casualty ward which includes props Keith Galloway, Matt Groat and James Gavet, while Mosese Fotuaika died in tragic circumstances just as a first-grade call-up appeared within reach. The joint-venture club is short of wingers with Lote Tuqiri, Matt Utai and, possibly, Koroibete all battling ailments.

Potter said he had never experienced the bizarre bad luck of having so many injuries confined to two key positions. The only positive injury news was the return of Curtis Sironen to the bench in the National Youth Competition.

''We need some front-rowers,'' he said. ''We've got some young blokes who are doing a good job for us in Ava [Seumanufagai] and Jack Buchanan. But eventually it's going to wear them down. We just need to bolster our [broader] squad up as well. We'll have to find something in the short term.''

Potter said none of his troops were expected back next week and he was sweating on the scan results for Koroibete. ''I'm hoping for the best but you never know with these foot injuries; they could be mild, they could be long term,'' he said.

''Just the way he limped off the field, he's a tough character and he wouldn't have come off if there wasn't something wrong with him.

''Maybe in three weeks we might have Matt Groat back on board, but he'll have to work his way back in. I'm hopeful with him, so we'll wait and see. He's coming back from a foot injury as well.''

The Tigers overcame a disappointing Eels side, the win all but sealed when Benji Marshall caught the defence napping with a quick tap. Replays suggested the Kiwi playmaker's foot may not have made contact with the ball in a play which changed the momentum of the game.

The victory was the second in succession for the Tigers, but Potter warned a repeat performance would not be good enough against in-form Manly on Thursday. ''We improved a little bit but geez, we've got some work to do,'' he said.

''With Manly and the Storm over the next couple of weeks, they are top class. They don't have dips.''

Nofoaluma played last night for the 20s so he is definitely an option if Marika is out for any time. Anyway lets not go jumping the gun yet on the possible injury severity.

Does not say he is out for 3 months, says medico's thought he MAY have had some similar injury to Ellis, nothing confirmed in this article, so let's hope all ok.
 
Even if he could get back in time for Thursday night, I reckon we shouldn't rush him and let him sit out a week. After we play Manly there is an 11 day turn around before we play Storm. Plenty of time to heal.
 
The last kind of injury this guy needs is anything relating to his legs. Wests should be getting them insured with Lloyds of London

Nofo scored a double in NYC afaik.

Yep. Big T scored a double and Tedesco scored a triple in NSW Cup not to mention Simona as well. We have options thats for sure.

TBH I think its hard to keep Tedesco out of the side at this point, and if Koro is out this is our chance to get Teddy back into 1st grade.
 
Koro just puts everything into every run that he does ….there is no self preservation about him , that's what we all love about him .
Just hope he is alright , rest him a game and that he is back firing to help thrash the Storm in front of their home crowd
 
How can he be a possible chance for Thursday in one article and out for 3 months in another?

Didn't say he was out for 3 months in the other, dont think. I think that's just what the guy who posted it said.
 
They just said on footy show is in doubt but if I remember last year Ellis ankle problem was not named to about mid week
 
We have some fools saying theyre ""Im hearing he's right for next week"
Other clowns saying ''out for three months"
Just wait for the club to advise us, scoops.
