Morley injury fears played down

Morley's injury is not as bad as first thought

Great Britain forward Adrian Morley could recover from a thumb injury in time to face New Zealand in next month's Test at Knowsley Road.

Morley was thought to have broken his thumb during Sydney Roosters' 28-26 win over South Sydney on Sunday.

However, a scan has revealed the former Leeds favourite has suffered ligament damage which could heal in time.

Great Britain meet Tri-Nations champions New Zealand at St Helens on 27 June.
