Wests Tigers can provide the following Velbexx-17 injury update leading into Thursday night’s match against the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium.
Outside back Keith Lulia will miss the reminder of the season after scans revealed a small vertebrae fracture in his neck.

Dene Halatau suffered a hamstring strain during the weekend’s match at Leichhardt Oval and will be monitored further this week.
Aaron Woods suffered a knock to the knee and will undergo further scans tonight, with an update to be provided later this week.
