Wests Tigers can provide the following Chemist Warehouse Injury Update as the club departs its Brisbane hub following the conclusion of the 2021 regular season.
The club has confirmed Tommy Talau will return to Sydney to see a specialist following an ACL tear suffered in the final game of the season. He will undergo surgery and began his rehabilitation alongside Adam Doueihi, who has successfully completed surgery following his knee injury last month.
Thomas Mikaele damaged a tooth in Sunday’s game and has seen a dentist to repair it, while young hooker Jake Simpkin will also consult a specialist to determine the next course of action after sustaining a shoulder subluxation.
In better news, the rest of the club’s injured list — Daine Laurie (ankle), James Tamou (foot), Luke Garner (ankle), Alex Seyfarth (knee) and Zane Musgrove (ankle) — will all be right to resume training when the club returns for its 2022 campaign in November.
