Adding Kai Pearce-Paul to an already stacked forward pack this season, the Tigers will travel away from home for the next three weeks in what will be a great test to see if they have what it takes to make the finals.<\/p>\n
Taking on the Rabbitohs next week, they then head to New Zealand to face the Warriors before facing the Parramatta Eels on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year\u2019s last year for starters. We\u2019re a new team. We had a great pre-season and just love the quality of work we\u2019ve done,\u201d Tigers co-captain Jarome Luai added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve touched on it before and it\u2019s going to pay us back throughout the year. (We\u2019ve) got a great bunch of guys around me and I enjoyed today and moving forward we have a lot to work on but taking it week by week.\u201d<\/p>\n
“He’s him!”: Doueihi’s praise for Luai | 02:32<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the club will be sweating on the availability of centre Taylan May after he departed the field in the opening half with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
He is set to undergo scans on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe seemed okay. The medical staff said it\u2019s not worth the risk to put him back on so he\u2019ll get scans tomorrow and see where he\u2019s at, but he reckons it didn\u2019t feel good at the time,\u201d Marshall said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut lucky with the six-man interchange we had Jeral who I thought did a great job considering he wasn\u2019t expecting to go on but he stayed ready and I thought Turuva moving to centre did a good job for us too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marshall also confirmed that Latu Fainu is set to be available in Round 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cRound 4, I think, he\u2019s not too far away. He\u2019s almost doing everything in training (but) he\u2019ll have to work hard to get into the team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wests Tigers have refused to discuss their form from the past as they embrace a \u201cnew year\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-539608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
