Mick Potter has exclusively revealed to Wests Tigers Members the return of a rookie forward for the Round 26 clash with North Queensland.
Sauaso Sue will make his return from a foot injury sustained in the Round 23 loss to the Roosters, with the explosive ball-runner expected to be named on the bench.
Sue made his NRL debut in Round 6 against St. George-Illawarra and played the following 16 matches before missing the past two games through injury.
Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter said the return of Sue would be a huge boost as the team look to finish 2013 on a high against the Cowboys.
Sauasos defence all year has been outstanding and he will add plenty of aggression to our forward pack, Potter said.
He wins tackles; not getting beaten on the ground is really impressive in his first season.
Im looking forward to his return.
After making his NRL debut off the bench, Sues impressive form resulted in him starting the majority of games this season at lock forward.
Wests Tigers will travel to Townsville later this week for the final match of 2013, facing a desperate North Queensland side looking to secure a spot in the top eight.
Members travelling to the game can attend our Meet & Greet, which will be held at Mercure Townsville on Saturday between 3pm - 4:30pm. For full details, click here.
