WARRIORS fullback Sam Tomkins will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a partial tear to the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

England star Tomkins left the field 11 minutes into the second half of Saturday’s 29-16 NRL win over Parramatta at Mount Smart Stadium.

He’s expected to be available later in April or early in May. The Warriors are away to North Queensland on April 18, face Gold Coast at home on April 25 and travel to Cronulla on May 9.

Coach Andrew McFadden says things could have been a lot worse. “The outcome is a lot better than it could have been,” he said.

“Sam will rehab the injury and should be available again in a few weeks.

“Obviously it’s a setback being without a player of his quality, but it’s also a big opportunity for Tui Lolohea.”

Meanwhile, in other injury news on Monday:

* Souths centre Dylan Walker will be sidelined for up to a month after Rabbitohs club medicos confirmed he had broken his hand. Full story here
