Wests Tigers five-eighth Luke Brooks could be out for a few matches after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday night’s loss to the Cowboys.
He faces a short turnaround heading into Friday’s clash with the Bulldogs so Jock Madden is likely to replace him in the side. Jake Simpkin (concussion) and Zane Musgrove (pec) are also under a cloud.
Roosters lock Victor Radley looks set to miss a few weeks after injuring his ankle in the upset win over Parramatta.
“Victor doesn’t usually report injuries at all, medical staff have to pry it out of him,” coach Trent Robinson said. “So when Rads was limping like that it looks like a few weeks.”
Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans picked up corks in Manly’s loss to Brisbane and are fine but centre Ben Trbojevic (shoulder) could be out of this Friday’s CommBank Stadium clash with Parramatta.
North Queensland forward Tom Gilbert has been charged with a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Wests Tigers debutant Junior Tupou in the opening minutes of their Magic Round clash.
He could be outed for two games if he contests the charge but can escape with a $3000 fine with an early guilty plea so the Cowboys will likely go with that option.
Storm winger Nick Meaney ($750-$1000 for a careless high tackle), Warriors second-rower Jack Murchie ($1000-$1500 for dangerous contact), Titans forward Sam McIntyre ($1000-$1500 for dangerous contact), Canterbury forward Chris Patolo ($1000-$1500 for a careless high tackle) and Manly prop Toafofoa Sipley ($1000-$1500 for dangerous contact) are facing fines only after also being charged by the Match Review Committee from Magic Round.
