However, Tasi was due to miss this weekend’s game against Hull FC after pleading guilty to a Grade B striking with the shoulder in the same game.
Tasi, sponsored by Tommy Piggott, said: โItโs really frustrating to pick up an injury like this so late on in the season.
โWeโre coming up to crunch time with the Super 8s and to miss these sort of game is disappointing.
โBut, we have a fantastic set of forwards with guys like Weller Hauraki, Craig Kopzcak, Tyrone McCarthy and, of course, Ben Murdoch-Masila.
โIโve no doubts those lads will perform in over the next few weeks beginning with big games against Hull FC and Castleford Tigers.โ
