CATALANS Dragons' new powerhouse forward Jason Ryles will not figure against Warrington Wolves at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday night.
The former Aussie Test prop made his debut in the Dragons' 30-8 home defeat to Huddersfield Giants at the weekend but the media team in Perpignan have revealed that Ryles has been ruled out for three weeks with a shoulder injury.
Ryles was brought in as a replacement for 2008 enforcer Alex Chan.
And with explosive second rower Sébastien Raguin being ruled out for the season, Dragons' pack will be a little more lightweight than new coach Kevin Walters would have liked to face Morley, Rauhihi, Carvell, Westwood, Wood, the Andersons and co on Saturday night.
