Danny Washbrook, who left the field with a dead leg following a collision with Warrington's Mike Wainwright is expected to recovery, while Paul Cooke (kidney stones) has been given the all clear after visiting hospital on Saturday evening.

Peter Sharp explained: "Gareth Raynor is doubtful for Saturday, we will wait and see if it's a grade one or two hamstring injury, but at this point he is a doubt for the trip. We will see how Danny (Washbrook) and Paul (Cooke) go in training this week and take it from there."

The severity of injury to the hamstring muscle is classified according to the following grades:

Grade 1 is a mild strain with few muscle fibers being torn.

Grade 2 is a moderate strain with a definite loss in strength.

Grade 3 is a complete tear of the hamstrings.
