Simona gone for 4 weeks…
Wests Tigers can provide the following injury update on Tim Simona after the centre suffered an injury playing for Samoa in the Representative Round.
Following scans on Sunday night, Simona has sustained syndesmosis in his ankle and is expected to miss four weeks, with a scheduled return in Round 13.
No other representative players sustained injuries throughout the weekend, and are all available for selection for Friday night's clash against the Sydney Roosters.
In other injury news, Brenden Santi is expected to miss two weeks with a broken nose suffered in the Club's Round 8 NSW Cup match against Wentworthville Magpies. That match also saw the return of Nathan Milone from a long-term knee injury, with the young centre scoring in his impressive return, and will be available for selection again this week.

Christ I think I'd rather Lawrence over Lulia…

Is Nofo fit? I think we need Lawrence's defence in the backline this week considering the speed the Roosters have in the outside backs. Realistically we're looking at Hoeter and Lawrence as the centre pairing.

Surely JT would just move Lawrence back. With Santi out too we might even see Akauola this week.

As much as I hope to be proven wrong I believe it will be somewhat academic as to who replaces Simona as the Roosters having lost 4 in a row will throw everything at the Tigers and with SOO spots on the line should be too strong for the Tigers. Then again Reynolds and Hodgo didn't set the world on fire for the Dogs but it should be noted that the Dogs were understrength. I would say that Lawrence will get the nod to replace Simona. Hoping to be proven wrong on the prediction.

4 weeks but will only miss 3 games with the bye. Good news as I was expecting 6 or more. I'd put Lawrence back at left center, for this week anyway. No one else knocking on the door.

Four weeks can mean two months when it comes to the Tigers, although the new rehab department seem to get their estimates a lot closer than in the past

I hope Simona's rehab isn't rushed to bring him back into the side. He looks to be getting some speed back this year, it'd be a shame to set that back.
Realistically,it won't matter who we replace Simona with,everybody has to be on their game for the full 80 mins..the Rorters will come out all guns blazing,they don't want to make it 5 losses in a row..We have the guys that can beat them all around the park,they just have to apply themselves and stick to the gameplan,that means, no panic,no cheap penalties and make sure the kicking game is first class and defence is solid..Our boys are starting to gel really well and this game will be a test of their intestinal fortitude…,I think they can win...
