Former Wigan Warriors and Salford Red Devils star Jackson Hastings has been robbed of a huge moment in his career whilst Leeds Rhinos signing Lachie Miller is also set to miss out.

This comes as reported Huddersfield Giants signing Adam Clune is given a huge opportunity to leave his mark on the season before his exit.

This is all because former Man of Steel Jackson Hastings has again injured his ankle meaning he will miss the crucial play off clash with New Zealand Warriors.

It is a huge moment in the histories of both clubs with them having a huge chance of reaching the Grand Final if they pick up a win on Saturday.

This is perhaps why the fixture sold out in a shocking 30 minutes.

The other semi-final is a repeat of the 2018 final as Melbourne Storm take on Sydney Roosters in another do or die clash.
