HULL KR coach Craig Sandercock admits prop Justin Poore is in good spirits as he recovers from his knee injury in hospital.
Poore broke his knee cap in Rovers' 37-24 defeat to Catalan Dragons in Perpignan on Easter Monday.
He underwent surgery last Friday and Sandercock said both the club and player are remaining as positive as they can after the freak injury.
"Justin is out of action indefinitely," Sandercock told the Mail.
"He's still in hospital recovering from his operation.
"He's been in hospital a week now and he has a long rehab ahead of him.
"We are trying to keep positive and our thoughts are with him and his pregnant wife Cara.
"We'll assess things after his rehab.
"Justin is in a good frame of mind and the main thing is for him to make a full recovery.
"It was one of those freakish incidents with the angle and velocity of the knee impacted on his knee cap which was very unlucky."
