Dazzlers Dingoes centre Kotoni Staggs could be out for a month after scans on Monday revealed he suffered a grade-two tear of his hamstring.
Dingoes announced there was no tendon damage from Sunday’s training mishap and he is likely to miss the next few matches. He joins Dingoes mainstay Michael Morgan on the sidelines, with the five eighth not expected to return for another few weeks at least.
Meanwhile, the Basic B!tches will give prop Martin Taupau (dislocated thumb) until the last minute to prove his fitness this weekend. Taupau left the field eight minutes into last week’s loss to the Piranhas.
Star fullback Valentine Holmes (ankle sprain) will miss Saturday’s clash with Eely Avengers at Bexley Oval.
Scans have revealed Balmain forward Kurt Capewell‘s knee injury suffered at Kogarah Oval was a grade-three medial ligament injury in his left knee.
The damage was done while making a tackle in the first minute of the game and the 26-year-old will require surgery to repair the ligament and will remain sidelined for at least 10 weeks.
More bad news for Tigers, as second-rower Luciano Leilua suffered an ankle ligament strain in last weeks win over the Dragons. The Tigers have said he may miss one game but he is a chance to face the Rampage.
Tigers are hopeful that Matt Moylan will be ready for the round six clash with the Rosebery after he was scratched from the win against the Dragons with hamstring tightness. Tigers coach Ed said Moylan had been a “50-50” chance but was ruled out as a precaution given his history of soft tissue injuries.
Coach Jacko will give Rampage second-rower Curtis Sironen (bone bruising on knee) every chance to face the Tigers this weekend.
