Leeds Rhinos hooker Andy Ackers has been ruled out for three months with a hamstring tear.

Ackers picked up the injury in Leeds' Challenge Cup defeat by St Helens on Friday.

The 31-year-old does not require surgery but recuperation from the injury will take up to 12 weeks.

Ackers joins co-captain Cameron Smith and Maika Sivo as long-term injury absentees for the Rhinos, who are sixth after four games of the Super League season.
