Castleford’s injury problems have worsened after coach Daryl Powell revealed that centre Ben Crooks is set to miss a month of action.
Crooks suffered bruising on his kidneys during the victory against Huddersfield last weekend, and it is severe enough to put him out of action for four weeks.
That means he is the latest big name added to an ever-increasing injury list, with the likes of Luke Dorn, Ben Roberts and Oliver Holmes out injured.
“Crooksy could be out for four weeks,” Powell said.
“He got bruising on his kidneys during the Huddersfield game which caused bleeding in his urine and made life pretty difficult for him. Again we will chase up on this, but at the moment its four weeks on the sidelines.”
