Carlaw sidelined by knee injury

The Dragons will miss the experience of Carlaw

Catalans Dragons have suffered another major setback with forward Dane Carlaw ruled out for six weeks because of a knee ligament injury.

The former Brisbane Broncos back rower joins new signing Jason Ryles and Sebastien Raguin on the sidelines.

Carlaw was laid out in a high tackle by Warrington's Ben Westwood in Saturday's win at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

He recovered from a facial injury suffered in the incident but later discovered he had a knee problem.

"After losing Sebastien Raguin and Jason Ryles, it's a huge worry for the club," said football manager Sebastien Munoz.

"Dane was a major player of the beginning of this season. I feel bad for him because he worked very hard during the pre-season and was one of our best players in this season's start."
