Kurt also confirmed a significant injury list following the game with Eribe Doro ruled out for the season with a calf injury and fresh injuries to Dan Russell (eye), Andy Ackers (hand), Loghan Lewis (back issue) and Waqa Blake (adductor) all doubtful for the trip to Leeds next weekend.  Whilst it is frustrating for supporters to experience those disputed decisions go against the club and mounting fresh injury concerns.  Kurt believes that setbacks like tonight are used to strengthen resilience and prepare the club for future growth in the Super League in the years to come.
