text: Veteran Leeds prop Kylie Leuluai is facing the prospect of another six weeks on the sidelines after being told he needs shoulder surgery. The 37-year-old New Zealander has not played since the Super League leaders' only defeat at Warrington a month ago but coach Brian McDermott says his injury has now been properly diagnosed. 'We thought his biceps were the problem but he's actually got a bit of floating tissue in his shoulder which he's going to have cleaned out,' McDermott said. Kylie Leuluai faces another six weeks out of action for the Leeds Rhinos after being told he needs surgery . 'He will be out for anything from between four to six weeks.' McDermott had feared Leuluai could be out for three months if he needed a bicep operation. 'It's great news,' McDermott added. 'He has still got an important role to play with us. 'I think we've missed him over Easter, not just the extra body, but some of the direct carries he gives you.'
