Adam Doueihi starred at five-eighth for Wests Tigers as they claimed a 16-8 win over St George Illawarra to ease the pressure on coach Michael Maguire.
St George Illawarra coach Anthony Griffin may be forced to turn to rookie backs Mat Feagai, Shaun Sauni-Esau and Tyrell Sloan after injuries to Zac Lomax and Cody Ramsey in Sunday’s 16-8 loss to Wests Tigers at WIN Stadium.
With wingers Mikaele Ravalawa and Jordan Pereira suspended, Max Feagai was called up for just his second NRL appearances against the Tigers and his twin Mat will come under consideration by Griffin as he runs low on backline options for next Sunday’s clash with Canterbury.
Lomax is expected to face about a month on the sidelines after being forced from the field midway through the first half with a thumb injury, while Ramsey suffered a rib injury late in the match.

Around 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to reach herd immunity to help reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus, said Anthony Griffin, chief medical officer for Passavant Area Hospital.
Cowboys coach Todd Payten said a contact session on Thursday will prove Taumalolo s fitness.
The same applies for McLean after he failed to finish last week s win over the Raiders due to a hamstring concern.
