Dewsbury Rams wait and hope over Spicer rib injury
Rob Spicer.
Versatile Rob Spicer suffered a rib injury in Dewsbury Rams’ 38-6 Northern Rail Cup defeat at Featherstone Rovers on Sunday which could keep him out for up to six weeks.
Spicer was switched into the centres from his usual back-row role due to other injuries in the Rams camp.
Coach Warren Jowitt said: “We don’t know if it’s broken ribs or a rib cartilage.
“He went to hospital after the game, but they didn’t x-ray him so we are none the wiser.
“We’re hoping the injury is just rib cartilage. If it’s broken it could be four to six weeks, but it’s only two to three if it’s cartilage, depending on the player.
“Rob Spicer being Rob Spicer, he will be ready for the start of the league season.”
Rams’ defeat at Featherstone followed a 36-6 home loss to Halifax, but Jowitt felt the score on Sunday flattered the hosts.
“We have things to work on, but I was really pleased,” he said.
“Defensively, for the majority of the game against Featherstone, we were very good.”
