Wests Tigers veteran Dene Halatau is likely to reprise his role as the club’s Mr Fix It by filling in for suspended second rower Chris Lawrence in Monday’s NRL clash with Parramatta.

Star Robbie Farah is set to be named for his first game of the NRL season after recovering from a knee injury he picked up in a trial in February, and will start at hooker in place of Halatau.

Lawrence joins an injured Curtis Sironen on the sidelines after taking the early guilty plea for his dangerous throw on Gold Coast prop Ryan James in last week’s loss.
