Wests Tigers set to be boosted by return of winger Lote Tuqiri against Parramatta Eels on Sunday
DUAL international Lote Tuqiri is confident he'll make his NRL return from a quadricep injury for surging Wests Tigers against Parramatta at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday.
Tuqiri has been out for nearly a month and was put through his paces in a training session at Concord Oval on Monday that included running up the stairs of NSW rugby's former showpiece stadium under the watchful eye of a Tigers conditioner.
Tigers lock Chris Heighington was impressed with Tuqiri during the session.
"I had a chat to him earlier and he reckons he is a chance of playing. He was looking pretty quick out there," Heighington said.
"He'll probably do a bit more tomorrow and we'll see after that."
The Tigers are chasing their sixth consecutive victory and line up against the Eels who have lost their past five games.
Coincidentally, the Eels last victory came against the Tigers when they beat them 22-6 in round 18.
"They are really dangerous, they've got an awesome forward pack and they've obviously got Jarryd Hayne in that team," Heighington said.
"They've been unlucky a fair few times this year, so we're going to have to be on our game on Sunday."
Heighington said the Tigers were high on confidence but weren't about to start taking teams lightly.
"We know how hard it is to win an NRL game and Parra's going to be very hard as well. They gave us a touch up a few weeks back and we'll have to be on our game," he said.
