The North Queensland Cowboys have been dealt a major injury blow, with star fullback Valentine Holmes set for a long stint on the sidelines.

Holmes is expected to miss to 10 weeks due to an ankle injury, which could potentially spell the end of his season.

The 24-year old underwent surgery on Monday.

"North Queensland Cowboys back Valentine Holmes underwent an arthroscopy on his left ankle yesterday" the club announced in a statement on cowboys.com.au.

"The arthroscopic probe revealed the syndesmosis was unstable and the ligament was subsequently repaired.

"Holmes is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks."

  1. Valentine oh Valentine, won’t you be my valentine? By the time he returns from injury I predict the Cowboys will be out of contention for the finals.

  2. It was stupid to play him in the last game he was injured going into the game so it is no surprise. Green and Co need to be booted. A Million dollar player and they choose to play him injured what a brains trust the Cowboys have coaching and making decisions.
