Wests Tigers advise that no decision has been made on the immediate playing future of winger Taniela Tuiaki.
>
Tuiaki has been sidelined since suffering a broken ankle against Parramatta at the Sydney Football Stadium in round 21 last year.
>
Under the guidance of Wests Tigers Club Doctor Donald Kuah, Taniela has undertaken two surgical procedures, intensive physio, aerobic fitness work, weight bearing activity, and running.
>
“We need to remember the injury suffered by Taniela was very significant and put his playing career at real risk,’’ said Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys.
>
“Whilst his rehab program has been arduous, Taniela has been very dedicated and disciplined.
>
“He has resumed straight line running at near full pace. The next step for Taniela is to test himself with more lateral movement and running.
>
“Taniela has been working extremely hard on his rehab and the most recent report on his progress has been quite encouraging.
>
“Wests Tigers will continue to do all possible to support him in his efforts to make a full recovery.”
