Overview

• Captain Stephen Crichton has been ruled out with a low-to-moderate syndesmosis injury and is expected to miss two to four weeks without surgery.
• Fellow centre Enari Tuala suffered a fractured tibia against Melbourne and will miss the rest of the finals series.
• Toby Sexton has a badly bruised clavicular joint and will undergo a scan to rule out a fracture after being hurt against the Storm.
• Viliame Kikau is being assessed for a suspected eye-socket fracture that Gould says appears stable, and he passed his HIA with no concussion reported.
• Canterbury is weighing a reshuffle that could see Sexton start in the halves with Matt Burton shifting to centre, with Bronson Xerri expected back from concussion and Marcelo Montoya considered a chance to return from an ankle issue.
