LEEDS RHINOS head coach Rohan Smith has revealed that Riley Lumb has suffered a “decent” hamstring injury which will see him ruled out for an indefinite period.
The young winger enjoyed a superb debut against Hull FC, but limped off with injury early in the Rhinos’ 46-8 drubbing of London Broncos.
Now Smith has confirmed that Lumb suffered a serious injury.
“Lumby has done a decent hamstring. He’s going to see a consultant to see if surgery is required, it will be a healthy lay-off,” Smith said.
“He is a great young kid, he lives for playing footy and has so much physical growth that he needs to put on some strength and size and mature as a kid.
“He showed us what he can do, it’s disappointing. It’s a long game but he will be back for sure.”
Smith also gave an update on Brodie Croft who was taken off at half-time during that London clash.
“Brodie has a groin issue which will keep him out this week but he will most likely return after the break.”
