Lote Tuqiri’s NRL season – and possibly Wests Tigers career – is over after the dual international suffered a broken arm in his side’s 32-20 loss to Canterbury on Friday night.
Tuqiri was a victim of friendly fire when teammate Adam Blair came in from the side and crunched his arm as the veteran winger clung onto Bulldogs back-rower Dene Halatau.
He was taken from the field and rushed to a nearby hospital where X-rays showed a break above his elbow to end his injury-riddled season after just 12 games.
