Aaron Woods’ tough season continues with the Tigers captain set to miss the State of Origin series opener through injury.
The front-rower tore a hamstring in the Tigers’ 22-16 loss to Cronulla last Saturday night ruling him out for eight weeks.
He could also miss the second game in Sydney on June 21.
“It’s quite frustrating. Front-rowers don’t do ‘hammies’, but I think it’s four to eight weeks,” Woods told Fox Sports’ NRL 360 program on Tuesday night. “With hamstrings, it’s how you react to when you run. So it just depends. “I think I’ll have my first run session in a week or two and just see how it reacts to that.
“They said four to eight weeks. That’s sort of as a guide and we’ll just see how it goes from there.”
Woods will also miss Friday’s Anzac Test against New Zealand.
