WT v Dolphins Round 5 2024

Tigerlily · 2024-04-02T01:29:42Z

Tigers to call up another highly rated teen, Blues head west for Origin camp 11.35am Wests Tigers are set to replace one teen tyro with another, calling highly rated 18-year-old Latu Fainu up for his NRL debut in place of the suspended Lachlan Galvin. Galvin starred in Monday’s gutsy upset win over Parramatta only to have his breakout NRL performance soured by a hip drop charge on Kelma Tuilagi. Galvin has accepted a two-game suspension, ruling him out of Saturday’s trip to Redcliffe to face the Dolphins and the following week’s clash with St George Illawarra. Fainu has been told he will make his first-grade debut against the Dolphins, though it is not yet clear if that will be stepping into the No.6 jersey alongside veteran halfback Aidan Sezer or coming off the bench. Fellow young playmaker Jayden Sullivan has played a utility role for the Tigers for the past two weeks and could be elevated back into the starting side, with Fainu to take his place in the No.14 jumper. Fainu’s signing alongside brother Samuela on lucrative four-year deals was heralded as a much-needed recruitment coup during the Tigers’ wooden spoon campaign last year, the pair lured from Manly after the Dolphins withdrew from negotiations. The Tigers’ young halves are jostling for long-term positions alongside 2025 marquee signing Jarome Luai along with off-contract local junior Adam Doueihi, who is still recovering from an ACL rupture. Meanwhile, South Sydney will bring Izaac Thompson in for his first game this season in place of Alex Johnston, who is out for up to six weeks with a torn hamstring. Thompson trained on the left wing outside Jack Wighton on Tuesday, with Thompson’s bull-at-a-gate carries out of trouble preferred to Richie Kennar against the Warriors on Saturday. Melbourne are set to name Cameron Munster to make his long-awaited return from a groin injury first suffered slipping in the shower during a pre-season trip to Fiji. The five-eighth pulled up well from his biggest training session so far on Monday, but will still be given the rest of the week to prove his fitness ahead of Thursday’s home game against Brisbane.Christian Welch (concussion) and Jahrome Hughes (suspension) will also return this week.

Refs have no idea what a knock on is.

Ice isn’t even appealing for the try why not just trust the player and play on
