Sean Gleeson 'a frustrated young man' as Hull KR injury list grows ahead of Wakefield clash
HULL KR say they cannot put a timeframe on Sean Gleeson making his debut for the club as he continues to struggle with a back injury.
And with vice-captain Kris Welham out for 'another week or two', coach Craig Sandercock does not know when he'll be able to play his first-choice centres together.

Hull KR's Sean Gleeson, left, is struggling with a back injury.
The KR coach admits Gleeson in particular is a 'frustrated' man,
The 25-year-old missed the team's warm-weather training camp in Tenerife, and his progress is being monitored week by week, with no firm date mentioned for his return.

"Sean's recovery is coming on very slowly," Sandercock told the Mail.
"He's a frustrated young man because he is desperate to play, but it's still a way away.
"I'd hate to put a timeframe on it because I'd be plucking a number from somewhere.
"We are taking it week by week with Sean."
Gleeson is one of up to six players potentially missing for Rovers' trip to Wakefield on Saturday.
Full-back Greg Eden remains a doubt, although he could yet play, despite talk of a hamstring injury ruling him out for a longer period.
"Greg was close to playing against Catalan and he will be very close to playing this weekend," Sandercock said.
"I don't want to go into too much detail about it, but there's nothing too serious and if he doesn't play this weekend I hope he will play against Widnes the following week."
While Sandercock is missing a quarter of his squad, he is glad the injury to Rhys Lovegrove isn't as bad as first thought.
Lovegrove left MS3 Craven Park on crutches after Sunday's 32-24 opening day defeat to Catalan, but the versatile forward could be back playing within a couple of weeks.
"It's probably only a one or two week injury but it's still another player unavailable for me to pick this weekend," he said.
"Hopefully when we get to round five or six we'll be getting close to a full squad.
"Like any coach, you'd love to have your best 17 players available, it would be a very nice situation to be in."
Other first-choice absentees include Travis Burns (suspended) and Ryan O'Hara (Achilles).

It isn't out of choice dixter, people like you don't like being exposed as frauds.
I don't know why you have changed your username, you stand out like a a plum in box of Oranges. You need a brain implant followed by lessons in English, then maybe, you could hide your identity.

“yes pearson has had a job in football since leaving marks and sparks but with the exception of hull city he was an employee,even at hull city the money was put foreward by a backer supporting pearson,hes a buisiness man who wants to make money and he openly states that fact,,so a job in football for him would be workable im sure.”

“Looks like eddy has gone into overdrive again. His frenzied posting reflects his concerns about AP possibly dumping Gateshull (est.1998) for Leeds United.
Perhaps Granny Evans the Forum Policeman will calm his nerves.
They could be busy at Rampton Secure Hospital Tonight.

“One game into the season and we have an extensive injury list. Hopefully, most of the injured will recover quickly. However, I fear Shaun's is going to take quite a while, it must be so frustrating for the lad.
Hopefully, at Wakefield we will maintain the second half commitment we showed against the Cats. If we can stay free from further injury and when Travis returns the Squad should start to gel. All is not lost yet!
3biesgalore aka Dixter, can you answer *******'a question at 9.28am? Considering you have a history of asking pointless ones, you should feel qualified to give a response.”
