Jenkins, who is one of the Pickers’ Newcastle Knights NYC representatives, landed awkwardly in a tackle in his team’s 20-16 win against The Entrance Tigers.

Maitland lost Knights NSW Cup player Toby Evans with a sprained ankle in the opening minutes of the game and Lincoln Smith has a suspected broken knuckle in his thumb.

The Bulldogs scored three tries in the last 20 minutes to score an 18-16 victory against Dubbo CYMS after trailing them 16-6.

Bulldogs coach Phil Williams described the game as scrappy and error-ridden, but he was pleased with the effort in the final 20 minutes.

Williams said that second-rower Jake Ball was strong throughout the game, Brock Gilmore worked hard, Ryan Walker scored a good try and Terence Seu Seu showed his organisational skills when he came on in the second half.

Pickers coach Trevor Ott said Bailey Jenkins’ injury was a blow for the club and the talented youngster.

Ott said given the injury toll, his teams first hit up was even more impressive.

“We lost three good players, but I was really happy with the way the middle stood up and paved the way for our backline to do what they could do,” Ott said.

“I think the only thing that let us down glaringly, it cost us two tries, was on the back of our kick-chase.

“We were a little bit staggered and they’ve scored run aways, 60 and 80 metres. We just can’t do that, especially in the third-quarter with seconds to go and they scored on the hooter.”
