It's been really disappointing for him and us."Robinson added: "The prognosis is three to four months, which is devastating from a personal perspective and for us as well."The Giants, who have won just once in the league this season, brought in Leeds Rhinos half-back Matt Frawley on a one-month loan earlier this week.

Michael Vaughan delivers warning to Ben Stokes – 'Got to do the right thing'
As England prepare to face India in their five test series, a matter of months before the Ashes, cricket legend Michael Vaughan offered a word of warning to Ben Stokes Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has warned Ben Stokes he must do "the right thing" and respect India before he can turn his attention to Australia and the Ashes. In November, Bazball will be going Down Under in a bid to lift the Ashes urn on Australian soil for the first time since 2011. But before they can focus on overcoming the Aussies, India are in town for this weekend's five-test series. Stokes, 34, has amassed an impressive record of 20 victories in 33 matches as captain, since he joined forces with head coach Brendon McCullum in 2022. This weekend, India are also starting a new era as they will be travelling to Headingley without recently-retired legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While they may be at the beginning of a new phase, Vaughan warned Stokes he cannot afford to take India lightly, particularly ahead of the Ashes in November. Vaughan, speaking at the launch of The Overlap and Betfair's Stick to Cricket show ahead of the series, delivered a message to Stokes and said: "I think you have got to do the right thing against India." Assessing Stokes' chances against India and the Ashes, Vaughan added: "He's got the tools to win, but there's having the tools and then using them properly and just having that element of fortune every now and again. Getting your team to play to a level, getting the team to be smart at times, getting your team to win and that key moment. "You need a little bit of fortune to do that as well. I do think if you do everything right and you prepare properly and you treat the game with respect, those elements and the rub of the green generally goes towards the team that deserves the win. I'm a big believer in that. "I think you have got to do the right thing against India. They've got to win, play the right cricket, respect the game. When they get Down Under, they have to prepare properly." Stokes' reign as captain has been impressive, but this weekend's series against India and the winter's Ashes could go some way to defining his legacy. Vaughan insists Stokes will have every chance to lead England to two series victories, providing his decisions are as smart as they are bold. The Ashes winning captain said: "To take Australia, you have to look them in the eyes and you have to take them on. But you have to cover the disciplines really well, the basics. "If they do that and they catch well, they can read the situation nicely. You can't just play one style and one way. "If you go over there playing one way, you'll get found out. They have a tool set and a box of talented players. "Can they go there with a bowling attack and get 20 wickets? If they can, they'll have a chance. If they can't, they'll have no chance." Betfair are set for a big summer and winter of cricket, launching a new show with The Overlap: Stick to Cricket. Don't miss the first episode next week, where the team will be reviewing the opening test of the series between England and India.

Lando Norris loses Nico Rosberg's backing after his actions at Canadian GP
Lando Norris' F1 title challenge has been undermined by a series of errors in qualifying and races, prompting Nico Rosberg to change his championship prediction Lando Norris has lost the backing of Nico Rosberg following his latest error. The McLaren driver broke Formula 1's golden rule by colliding with team-mate Oscar Piastri as they fought over fourth place in the closing stages of the Canadian Grand Prix. The contact, which occurred on the pit straight, immediately put Norris out of the race and brought out the safety car. While the British driver accepted responsibility, Piastri was able to continue, taking fourth place to extend his lead over Norris to 22 points. Norris went into 2025 as the favourite for the drivers' title after an impressive 2024, which saw him fight eventual champion Max Verstappen for the crown. With McLaren possessing the fastest car, the 25-year-old made the perfect start by winning the season opener in Melbourne, but he has struggled since, making a string of mistakes under pressure in both qualifying and races. Meanwhile, Piastri has been almost error-free. After 10 rounds of the 24 rounds, the Australian has won five races to Norris' two. That has prompted 2016 world champion Rosberg to alter his pre-season title prediction, despite being a 'big Lando fan'. 'He's enormously talented and probably one of the most talented out there. He was my absolute favourite for the championship as well,' the German, who retired after beating Lewis Hamilton to the 2016 title, told the Sky Sports F1 podcast. Asked if he had now changed his mind, Rosberg added: 'Yes, it's in Canada that I changed that. Oscar Piastri is now my favourite for the championship, because Lando has not yet been able to iron out these regular mistakes. 'At the moment, that's what would cost him winning the championship. I don't see him ironing them out at the moment We have to remember, too, that this is a new situation that they have never been in before. It's so different from battling for fourth, fifth place, being the hunter and chasing the best of his generation in Max Verstappen. 'When you go into a season as a massive favourite to win the drivers' championship, you have the car to win every race, that's like a 10x difference in pressure. That's what Lando and Oscar are now facing and that's what's caused the shift. Lando was the dominant [McLaren] driver last year and now Oscar has moved ahead. For me, it's that pressure situation that has changed the dynamic.' Norris has been brutally honest about his struggles. Speaking after his blunder in Montreal, he said: 'Rule number one is not to make contact with your team-mate, and that's what I did. 'McLaren is my family and I race for them every single weekend and try and do well for them on and off the track. So when I let them down like this and make a fool of myself like I did today, I have a lot of regret. I'm not proud of myself, I feel bad, so apologies to all of them.' Meanwhile, team principal Andrea Stella conceded the incident might affect Norris' confidence going forward. The Italian said: 'This may have an impact in terms of his confidence. 'We will have conversations, and the conversations may even be tough, but there's no doubt over the support we give to Lando and over the fact that we will preserve our parity and equality in terms of how we go racing at McLaren between our two drivers. 'The situation would have been different if Lando did not take responsibility and apologise. Lando will have to show his character to overcome this kind of episode and make sure that he only takes the learnings to become a stronger driver.' The title battle resumes at Austria's Red Bull Ring at the end of June before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone the following weekend.
