The Wests Tigers<\/a> have confirmed Charlie Staines is facing months on the sideline after suffering a somewhat bizarre and painful injury during his side's 22-16 loss to the Sea Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staines suffered a perforated bowel making a tackle during the second half, and bravely fought through the pain to play all 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

As his pain level increased after the match, Staines notified club doctors and he was admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n

"I can't fault him this season \u2026 it's a credit to him as well, just how tough he is to play through that," Klemmer told media on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

"I am devastated for him and his family. He has worked really hard to play consistent footy this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We will be right behind him and make sure he does the right thing to get back and healthy."<\/p>\n

Staines' injury comes two weeks after Adam Doueihi's season was ended by a third ACL rupture suffered against the Eels on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n

But it's not all bad news at Leichhardt, with Brent Naden – the other Tiger injured in that Eels clash – named to make his return against the Panthers in Bathurst this weekend after injuring his shoulder as he scored a try just minutes before Doueihi's injury.<\/p>\n

Veteran David Nofoaluma was named to play his first NRL game since he was mysteriously benched by Tim Sheens in round three as cover for Staines.<\/p>\n
