Injury-ravaged Harry Newman was left in tears missing the Grand Final and went on holiday to escape having to watch the World Cup.
But the rising Leeds star won’t make the mistake of rushing himself back from injury. Not again. Centre Newman has endured some horrendous luck in his blossoming career. He made just seven appearances last term due to a series of hamstring issues. The 22-year-old - who also suffered an horrific double leg break in 2020 - battled back to be fit for their play-off run but broke down once more.
It also meant he missed out on a potential England debut in the World Cup. Newman concedes he’s “probably not” going to be right for Leeds’ Super League kick-off at Warrington on February 16. But he insisted: “Whether it’s round one, two, three or maybe a bit later, it’ll be when the time’s right and everyone agrees.
