WOLVES are nursing injuries as well as a defeat at Hull FC that ended a five-match unbeaten run.

Tony Smith revealed: "Joe Westerman has pinched a nerve in his neck again.

"He missed a couple of games over Easter because of it and has hurt it again.

"Fortunately Ryan Atkins wasn't seriously injured.

"Kurt Gidley has burst his ear drum. It's not a pleasant one but he'll be fine with it, he's done it before in the other ear.

"He'll recover ok from that.

"We lost Daryl Clark a couple of days ago he's got a strain in his hamstring. He should be ok for Friday, I'm hoping but certainly wasn't worth risking of further injury tonight.

"It's a small one, but not worth losing him for six to eight weeks."
