Hall injury dampens Leeds’ joy at victory

RUGBY LEAGUE: An injury to Ryan Hall threatened to overshadow a badly needed 48-22 win for ailing Super League champions Leeds in their Qualifiers opener.

The England winger twisted a knee but director of rugby Kevin Sinfield, after only his second win in charge, said: ‘Ryan is a bit of a freak and he does tend to recover very quickly from what could be deemed to be really serious injuries.

He’s smiling, but we will get him scanned on Monday morning. At this stage I would say he’s a doubt for next week’s trip to London Broncos.’
