The Wests Tigers<\/a> 2023 season looks set to go from bad to worse, with confirmation one star's season is all but over, while another will face a lengthy stint on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Injuries to Brent Naden and Adam Doueihi<\/a> came within minutes of each other as the Tigers looked to mount a comeback against the Eels<\/a>, before eventually falling short 28-22.<\/p>\n

First it was Naden who went down with a suspected broken collarbone, sustained as he scored the Tigers' third of the day just after the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Cameras captured Naden clutching at his shoulder immediately after scoring, with replays showing the centre landing heavily on it.<\/p>\n

\"Tigers<\/p>\n

Barely minutes later, the Tigers' injury woes deepened in a nightmare incident.<\/p>\n

With a comeback charge against the Eels in full swing, Doueihi made a great take off a short Clint Gutherson<\/a> dropout. As he landed however, something in his left knee could visibly be seen giving out.<\/p>\n

The Tigers half immediately went to ground and was helped from the field. After the match, coach Tim Sheens revealed club doctors suspected a second ACL injury.<\/p>\n

Doueihi's 2018 season at South Sydney was ended by an ACL injury to the same knee.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, the club's depth took a hit when young winger Jordan Hill suffered his second ACL injury playing for the Tigers' feeder club, Western Suburbs Magpies in the NSW Cup.<\/p>\n

"Not a good day for us in that regard," a deflated-looking Tim Sheens said after the match.<\/p>\n

Former Tiger Mitch Moses almost single-handedly led the Eels to victory, setting up three tries from kicks and a fourth from a long pass to Maika Sivo on the wing.<\/p>\n

"Three tries from kicks, his goal kicking – hitting the posts and going in all that sort of thing. When it's your day, it's your day isn't it," Sheens said.<\/p>\n
