ST HELENS not only went down 24-16 to Leeds Rhinos on Thursday night, they also lost two key men.

Joe Shorrocks and Harry Robertson both had to leave the field early with separate quad injuries.

However, before the game had even started, Saints boss Paul Rowley was forced into a reshuffled backline, with Deon Cross suffering a ruptured bicep and Lewis Murphy an elbow problem.

Castleford Tigers will be without Brock Greacen for their clash at Catalans Dragons on Saturday following a failed HIA.

Meanwhile, Hull FC face a nervous wait on Zak Hardaker after the Black and Whites star felt a ‘crunch’ in his neck in the loss to Warrington Wolves.

He’ll definitely miss Saturday’s home match with Huddersfield Giants, having failed an HIA.

Warrington themselves lost Toby King to an ankle issue, while they had to reshuffle before kick-off as head coach Sam Burgess left Josh Thewlis out following injury whilst Ewan Irwin was ill.

On Saturday, Corey Hall came off early in Wakefield Trinity’s victory over Hull KR with an ankle injury.
