New Zealand Warriors’ fullback Sam Tomkins will miss up to six weeks after injuring his knee in the Warriors’ victory over Parramatta last Saturday.

“The outcome is a lot better than it could have been,” coach Andrew McFadden told warriors.co.nz.

“Sam will rehab the injury and should be available in a few weeks.

“Obviously it’s a setback being without a player of his quality but it’s also a big opportunity for Tui (Lolohea).”
