Winger Ryan Hall broke a bone in his foot during Saturday's Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-final loss to St Helens while centre Clinton Toopi suffered a knee ligament injury that could see him out of action for a year.

Toopi's injury ends any hopes the 28-year-old centre had of being named in Stephen Kearney's New Zealand squad for the World Cup at the end of the year and is the second injury he has suffered this season.

He had already spent four months on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder in Leeds' World Club Challenge win over Melbourne in February and will now undergo a knee reconstruction.

"He (Toopi) got scanned yesterday and he's done his anterior cruciate ligament and he needs to get other work done too," coach Brian McClennan told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"He will be out for a long time, it will probably be around nine months and it could be a year. He's had a hell of a season, but there's nothing we can do about it."

The pair join Ali Lauitiiti, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Brent Webb, Ryan Bailey, Danny McGuire and Rob Burrow on a lengthy injury list that is threatening to derail the Rhinos' season.

Leeds are sitting joint top of the table with St Helens but face a tough trip to fourth-placed Warrington on Saturday.
