O'Neill
injury blow for Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos? new high-profile signing Mark O?Neill will miss the start of the engage Super League season because of injury.

The 30-year-old Australian prop forward, who joined the Rhinos after helping Wests Tigers lift the NRL crown in October, suffered a shoulder injury just five minutes into his first appearance for the club during their Boxing Day friendly with Wakefield.

?It?s not good news and he will certainly miss the start of the season,? said Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington.

?But he has come to make his mark and there is no chance of him going back.?

Leeds open their League campaign at home to Huddersfield on Sunday, February 12.
