WARRINGTON Wolves will be without the services of two of their overseas stars for at least a month.

Wolves' head of coaching and rugby Tony Smih has confirmed that Kurt Gidley has a small fracture in his fibula and is expected to be sidelined for five weeks.

He will miss Wolves' home date with Widnes Vikings tomorrow, Thursday, and at least the opening three games of the Middle 8s series when The Wire seek to secure their Super League status.

Kevin Brown, fit again after a foot injury, is set to replace Gidley in the halves against his former club tomorrow.

Smith has also revealed that Ben Pomeroy, who has formed a solid partnership on the right with fellow newcomer Peta Hiku, has fractured a toe and looks set to be absent for four weeks.

Matty Russell will replace him on the right wing against Widnes.

Both Gidley and Pomeroy finished the game with limps when Wolves won 16-10 at Wigan last Thursday.
