Wests Tigers have been dealt a hammer blow after halfback Jarome Luai was ruled out of their game against Manly due to an infection.
Luai is expected to be fit for State of Origin III but will not take the field at Brookvale, with Api Koroisau moving to halfback.
Later, Canberra will travel to Newcastle and the stakes are high for Ricky Stuart’s side given they can assume first place on the ladder with a win.
