\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Castleford\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Castleford Tigers director of rugby Chris Chester doesn\u2019t expect to see Tom Amone play again this season.<\/p>\n

Amone has spent much of the campaign with Castleford but will join Super League leaders Hull KR next season following a frustrating stint down under earlier this year.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been one of the Tigers\u2019 most consistent performers too, making 15 appearances in black and amber with his one try coming in the win over Hull FC back in June.<\/p>\n

However, the forward\u2019s season might just have come to a premature end after hitting the deck in the 16th minute of Thursday night\u2019s contest between Castleford and Leigh. Amone looked in visible distress as the Tigers\u2019 medical team rushed to his side before taking off his boot and helping him from the field.<\/p>\n

The prop never returned to the action and while Chester wasn\u2019t able to offer a full prognosis when speaking after the game. He admitted the signs didn\u2019t look good for the prop.<\/p>\n

Castleford Tigers chief gives Tom Amone update<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be very, very surprised if we see Tom Amone again this year,\u201d Chester said after the game. \u201cHe was devastated when he came off the field, he obviously wanted to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom has always played big minutes at Leigh and for us as well, so he was devastated when he had to leave the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t look great, he\u2019ll go for an X-ray or a scan. I\u2019m really sad for Tom but I\u2019m just pleased that I\u2019ve been able to work with him because he\u2019s a fantastic human being.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that very first phone call when I signed him [at Leigh], he was concreting with a mate. We got him over on a cheap deal that he keeps reminding me off but he\u2019s an unbelievable human being. He\u2019s got a lovely family and he\u2019s put everything into this club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need another 13 Tom Amones. I\u2019ll be sad to see him go but he\u2019s got a contract there at Hull KR and I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019ll be a another success at Hull KR.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willie Peters, who will be preparing for this evening\u2019s game against St Helens, will almost certainly be checking in with his 2026 recruit when he has chance.<\/p>\n
