The West Tigers officials remain hopeful of having Lote Tuqiri back on deck this weekend despite the dual international limping off just minutes into his comeback against Newcastle.

Tuqiri has been named on the wing for Sunday's trip across the Tasman to face the Warriors.

The veteran flyer has been making his comeback from a broken arm against the Knights before falling awkwardly in the opening minutes at Leichhardt Oval.

The West Tigers and Warriors game will be held this Sunday in Auckland, New Zealand.
