“I don’t want to put a time frame on it, but he certainly won’t play in the next couple of games.
“Tommy (Leuluai) won’t play this week either. It was always the plan to get him in for one week and let him rest up, but other than that we are strong.
“He could play if we need him too, but I don’t think it would be smart. He’ll come back into contention going forward.

Morgan Smithies will also miss this Saturday’s game at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle, after being handed a four-match ban for two different offences in the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“It’s fair cop,” Peet added.
“He needs to do better. We look at ourselves. I spoke to Morgan today and he’s in great form, so pleased with how he’s developing as a player.
“We want him on the field and he loves playing the game, but it doesn’t allow for inaccuracy in your contact, rightly so.
“There’s no excuse and he acknowledges that.”
