Jamie Jones-Buchanan conceded that the number of injuries Leeds Rhinos players are sustaining is a concern the club must look into after two more players went down on Friday. The Rhinos face a nervous wait on Liam Sutcliffe and Tom Briscoe after the pair were forced from the field in the victory over Toulouse Olympique.
Sutcliffe was withdrawn in the first half with a knee problem while Briscoe left the field with an ankle issue and departed Headingley in a protective boot. It's further concern for the Rhinos, who are already without key first team players in Jack Walker, David Fusitu'a, Harry Newman, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, James Bentley, Zane Tetevano, Alex Mellor, Richie Myler and Tom Holroyd.
That leaves the Rhinos woefully short of players and Jones-Buchanan admitted the club may have to investigate if there was a deeper problem causing the treatment room to be fully occupied, an issue that wreaked havoc throughout the 2021 season too.
