Wests Tigers are expected to be without forward leader Aaron Woods for their clash with the monster Canterbury pack on Friday.
Woods underwent scans on Monday after jarring his knee in the side's 20-6 loss to South Sydney on Sunday and is racing the clock to face the Bulldogs.
The Tigers said the injury was not long-term but he was in doubt for the Bulldogs clash at ANZ Stadium.
Woods told reporters he would be right to face Canterbury but spent the side's Monday recovery session receiving treatment from a club physiotherapist away from the main playing group.
Woods has run for over 200 metres in all three of the Tigers' three games this season and his gains would be badly missed against the formidable Bulldogs pack at ANZ Stadium.
"(Woods) has been a massive part of our go-forward and if we lose him then it will be a massive loss," Tigers five-eighth Mitchell Moses said.
"It's going to be a big test this week. It was a massive test yesterday with their big pack and I thought we handled (Souths) not too bad but they probably got over the top of us towards the end and held the ball."
