WESTS Tigers have confirmed Benji Marshall will take the field on Monday, while Tui Lolohea has a clean bill of health but will struggle to push his way into the team.

Young gun hooker Jacob Liddle will also play his first game of the season.

“It went black and blue pretty quickly,” Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe told the Market Watch podcast of Marshall’s injury.

“The expectation is that he will be available and Tui Lolohea will be available this week.”

Round 20

The Tigers do battle with Parramatta on Easter Monday but Lolohea has been named on an extended bench despite overcoming a knee injury.

“Benji’s trained well all week, we probably got lucky it was a 10-day turnaround. It’s one of those injuries where it blows up but over time he’ll be OK,” Ivan Cleary said.

“They blow up and swell up a lot and it’s pretty painful. They’re the sort of thing where if you can manage the swelling the first three or four days, you can come back pretty quick.”
