Leeds Rhinos full-back Jack Walker will undergo scans following a hamstring injury sustained during Thursday’s dramatic 20-20 draw at home to Huddersfield Giants. Walker was helped off the field in clear discomfort during the first half of the game in another injury setback to the homegrown star.
Leeds travel to Castleford Tigers on Easter Monday but will be without 22-year-old Walker, meaning Liam Sutcliffe will deputise at full-back. “We’ve talked about how we miss Richie Myler and how important the full-back role is, but Jack looks to have a pretty significant twang on his hamstring,” interim head coach Jamie Jones-Buchanan said.
“We’ll have to scan that in the next couple of days. Typically it’s Bank Holiday and nobody is open, but we’ll do our best to kick a door down and find out what’s wrong with him.
