Danny McGuire provides Dean Hadley and Shaun Kenny-Dowall injury update after Wakefield victory

Dean Hadley could have played his last game for Hull KR after sustaining another serious injury in Sunday's 15-10 victory over Wakefield Trinity. The reliable forward is out of contract at the end of 2022 with his future still unknown.

Head coach Danny McGuire is still unsure of the extent of Hadley's injury, but it is the same shoulder setback that made him miss a substantial amount of games in 2021. McGuire is also still waiting for an update on captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall, who was sent to hospital after leaving the field in the first half.

After Sunday's results, there is plenty of relief around Sewell Group Craven Park as the Robins picked up only their second win in 10 games as they moved up to eight on the Super League ladder.

The interim coach picked up his first win since taking over from Tony Smith, but it wasn't all smiles during his post-match press conference, as he provided injury updates on the Rovers skipper and Hadley.

"Deano (Hadley), has popped his shoulder again," said McGuire. "We had that a couple of times last year, and it's unfair on Dean. It's actually come back in a lot easier this time, we will have to wait and see, but our second-row spot seems to be cursed at the moment.

"It's like a poisoned chalice whoever plays there. I'll know more soon. Kenny-Dowall got a bad elbow to his throat, and he went to the hospital. He was struggling to talk, but when I saw him leave the ground, he was fine. The medical team just wanted to take no precautions. Fingers crossed for Skids."
