Injury Update: Round 15 vs Titans

Wests Tigers hooker and captain Api Koroisau has today undergone surgery in Sydney after suffering a fractured jaw in Thursday night’s 28-12 loss to Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium.

The injury, which happened while he was making a tackle on Titans prop Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, will see Koroisau miss approximately six weeks.

It’s also a huge blow for the NSW Origin side, which will now be without Koroisau for the remainder of this year’s series.

Luke Brooks is also facing an extended period on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury in the second half of the same game.

Brooks also flew back to Sydney on an earlier flight than his teammates on Friday to undergo scans, which revealed a Grade 2 hamstring strain.  He is expected to miss between 4-6 weeks.

Wests Tigers next game is against Melbourne Storm at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Saturday 17th June.
