WESTS Tigers could receive a massive boost ahead of their blockbuster Friday night clash with the Roosters, with captain Robbie Farah a possible late inclusion in the side.
Foxsports.com.au has been told Farah will be given a fitness test on Thursday to determine whether he can be rushed back into the side at least two weeks ahead of schedule after dislocating his elbow in round six.
.
Farah returned to field training with his club on Monday after just three weeks of rehab and strength work, with Tigers coach Mick Potter confirming that Farah was likely to return in next Saturday’s clash with Cronulla.
However, his recovery has so impressed club officials that the Tigers’ most important player is now considered an outside chance to line up on Friday night.
When contacted on Thursday morning, the Tigers denied Farah would be put through his paces in a fitness test but confirmed the skipper would be involved in Thursday’s captain’s run.
He’s having a run with the boys, he’s not having a fitness test as such, but he’s having a run,” a Tigers spokesman said.
“I think it’s unlikely he’ll play. He’s more of a chance for next week.”
