Woolford names squad for Hull
Simon Woolford has named his 21-man squad for Sunday's trip to Warrington to play Hull FC. Ashton Golding, Aidan Sezer and Leroy Cudjoe have been named in the squad, while Woolford confirmed injuries to Ukuma Ta'ai and Jon Luke Kirby.
Woolford said: “Ukuma’s got a really bad lateral ligament injury in his ankle. They’re talking three or four months so there’s every possibility he won’t play again this year.
Jon Luke Kirby will also face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, facing nine months out with the forward needing an ACL operation, to be carried out on Saturday.
Simon Woolford said “both these situations are big losses to us as Ukuma is a senior forward and young Jon would have got a good number of games given in the next couple of months given how we’d planned to rotate the squad in the short turnarounds that all clubs will face. Both injuries looked fairly innocuous at the time, particularly Jon in training, but scans and specialists have dictated the way forward.”
