Winger, Hymel Hunt, and fullback, Bailey Hodgson, will be unavailable for selection for an extended period of time, due to injuries suffered in Monday night’s trial against the Bulldogs.
Both players are not expected to play in the first few rounds of the competition.
Hunt has a high-grade PCL injury to his right knee, surgery will not be required, his response to rehabilitation will determine his return to play date.
Hodgson had surgery last night (Tuesday) to repair a fractured left elbow, depending upon the extent of the injury and his response to treatment are key factors in his timeframes.
