Leeds Rhinos face an anxious wait after star centre Harry Newman was helped from the field during their game with St Helens. The youngster, whose career has been riddled with injuries, appeared in agony as he was assisted from the field after an awkward-looking tackle.
Newman was brought down by two Saints defenders and instantly screamed as he hit the deck, looking towards the bench. The Rhinos medical team took little time to rule him out and help him from the field. It was confirmed that Newman had suffered a hamstring injury, a grim update given his long history with similar issues.
Sky Sports' pitchside reporter said Newman was 'distraught' as he was ushered down the tunnel to receive further treatment. It's a serious concern for Leeds and Newman, who has been plagued by injuries in the early stages of his career. Serious leg and hamstring injuries have kept him off the field for long periods. He was in tears as he left the field.
