The club confirmed he has rolled his ankle, re-aggravating a previous injury.
Isaako has been hampered by a troublesome ankle all pre-season after bruising it during a training session before the Christmas break.
The Kiwi international is expected to be back to full strength in "a week or two".
Jamayne Isaako left training today with a reported ankle injury, possible aggravation of ongoing issue. Good news was able to weight bear, and if confirmed ankle injury (& not foot) even very worst case would likely reach full fitness before Round 1 in 8 weeks time

The latest injury setback comes after Corey Oates suffered a break in his left hand last week, ruling him out for up to a month.
Kotoni Staggs is still in the Broncos casualty ward, recovering from a knee injury while Alex Glenn is also managing a hamstring strain.
