Eels hooker Reed Mahoney is out indefinitely after suffering an AC joint injury in yesterday's match against the Warriors.
Mahoney was taken from the field in the 52nd minute of the 24-18 win after landing awkwardly on his shoulder. He attempted to play on, however the hooker was unable to pass the ball left or right and was withdrawn from the game.
