Robins Take Gardner on Loan
The Robins have moved to strengthen their cover in the outside backs by taking St Helens winger Ade Gardner on a month's loan.
The 30-year-old has enjoyed a prolific career with the Saints, scoring 173 tries in 286 appearances during the past 13 years. With David Hodgson, Omari Caro, Sean Gleeson and Craig Hall all currently sidelined through injury, Gardner will go straight into the Robins' squad for this coming Friday's trip to Wigan Warriors with Head Coach, Craig Sandercock, commenting:
"With David, Omari, Sean and Craig all missing at the moment, we are very thin in the outside backs. That being the case, we've had no real option but to go into the loan market and Ade Gardner fits the bill perfectly for us. His record speaks for itself and he'll bring plenty of quality and experience to the side over the next month."
It's been confirmed that Craig Hall didn't rupture a testicle at St Helens, but he could still be facing a few weeks on the sidelines with Sandercock adding:
"The scans showed that there was no rupture which is good news for Craig. However, he is very sore at the moment and we're not sure exactly how long he'll be missing for."
