St George Illawarra Dragons co-captain Clint Gutherson suffered a hamstring injury in the side’s clash against the Cowboys.
“Scans showed that Clint suffered a Grade 2 strain late in Saturday’s game,” Dragons High Performance Manager Daniel Lawson said.
“He will attack his rehab with his trademark professionalism, and we are hopeful to have him back on the field after our bye in Round 9.”
