NRL Round 16 2024 late mail: Predicted team changes, injury news, Adam Doueihi back for Tigers

A Wests Tigers star is set to play his first NRL game in 14-months, with another key player ruled out with injury. See all predicted team changes.

Adam Doueihi will cap a remarkable week by playing his first NRL game in 14-months just days after re-signing with the Wests Tigers.

Doueihi has been rushed straight into the Tigers starting line-up to face the Raiders at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday.

The 25-year-old made his long-awaited comeback at halfback in NSW Cup last weekend, but will play centre on Sunday for Justin Olam who is out with a knee injury.
