B!tches star Valentine Holmes is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks with an ankle injury. The star fullback underwent surgery on a syndesmosis injury suffered in last week’s win over the Dingoes. Centre Campbell Graham is facing a stints on the sideline after scans determined the severity of injuries sustained on Friday night. Graham is expected to miss 2-3 weeks after suffering a minor facial fracture when he brutally attacked his opponent’s leg with his face in theearly stages of the match. Star winger Brett Morris is expected to be named to return from groin tightness in Thursday’s match with 2Great4U at Bexley Oval.

Meanwhile, Grubs prop Jesse Bromwich is set to miss 3-4 weeks with a medial ligament knee injury. Five-Eighth Cameron Munster (knee) will be a chance to return to the line up this Friday against the Balmain Tigers. Grubs forward Daniel Saifiti is facing a 1-2 week stint on the sidelines after suffering a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his side’s loss to the 2Great4U on Sunday. Halfback Mitchell Pearce was nursing a sore knee after the match but confirmed he’ll be fine to face the Tigers on Saturday.

Noah’s Arks Felise Kaufusi (knee swelling) will undergo fitness testing this week in a bid to line up against the Dragons on Friday.

Balmain hooker Jake Friend will undergo HIA protocols after suffering a head knock against the Arks. Tigers coach Ed has indicated that he has no idea or backup if Friend is ruled out. Young rookie forward Eli Katoa is hopeful of returning from an ankle injury this round. Balmain Second Row/Centre Alex Glenn is expected to miss up to eight weeks after scans confirmed an MCL injury on Sunday. Glenn was injured in a tackle which resulted in a suspension for Reimis Smith.

The Rampage have rated workhorse Alex Twal “a pretty bloody good chance” of taking on the Eely Avengers on Friday. More will be known later in the week.

Noah’s Arks have been dealt a huge blow with Josh Hodgson (ACL) ruled out for the season after an injury suffered in Saturday night’s win over Balmain. Hodgson will consult a specialist this week to determine when he’ll have surgery to repair the ligament.
