Fa'asuamaleaui sidelined; Foran aiming for a comeback
Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui is sidelined; Jaimin Jolliffe returns, and Kieran Foran's comeback is promising.
LeagueNews.co
In the latest injury report, Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui will be sidelined for the upcoming match against the Raiders after he failed the head injury assessment following a game against the Knights last Friday.
He only managed to play six minutes before exiting the field and will now go through mandatory return-to-play protocols, meaning he will miss training and gameplay for at least 11 days.
On a positive note, the forward rotation will receive a boost with Jaimin Jolliffe returning from a two-game suspension.
Additionally, Kieran Foran is on track to make his comeback from a biceps rupture that he sustained during the pre-season trials.
