HULL KR and St Helens face a waiting game over injuries to their stars.

Dean Hadley was withdrawn for Rovers before kick-off in the loss against York Knights, with a rib injury causing head coach Willie Peters to not risk the forward.

Peters said on Sunday that he is confident Hadley will be fit for the Robins’ crunch clash with Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge on Thursday.

St Helens were licking their wounds following a loss to Warrington Wolves, but that loss was compounded with the worrying sight of Jack Welsby leaving the field on the hour with a suspected dislocated shoulder after scoring a try.

Huddersfield Giants hooker Zac Woolford was sent for a HIA in his side’s 26-10 loss to Catalans Dragons and didn’t return, meaning he will miss their fixture against Wakefield Trinity next Sunday.

Their Super League return may have ended in defeat, but Bradford Bulls gave a great account of themselves in a 27-20 loss to Hull FC on Saturday evening.

And Kurt Haggerty’s side had to deal with a leg injury to Dan Russell as well as a problem with Jayden Okunbor, who limped off after just five minutes.

Castleford Tigers, meanwhile, will monitor Blake Taaffe after he played on with a knock in their defeat to Wigan Warriors.
