Scans have confirmed Storm flyer Xavier Coates will be sidelined following a hamstring injury sustained during Saturday night's win over Canberra.
Coates suffered a low grade tear in his right hamstring during the second half against the Raiders which is set to keep him on the sideline for 6-8 weeks.
In other injury news, centre Jack Howarth has been ruled out for 1-2 weeks due to a moderate glute strain which also came during last night's contest.
