Sele suffered a shoulder injury early in the contest. He attempted to play through it for a period of time before being brought from the park.
The first half injury has now been confirmed as a shoulder fracture.
Bird, on the other hand, was feared to have broken his ankle just before halftime in attempting to complete a tackle.
He went over heavily on the ankle and was only able to drag himself over the sideline before being taken from the field via a medicab and with the green whistle.
It was later revealed Dragons’ medical staff were only fearing a severe strain though and that has since been proven the case, with the club confirming his ankle is not broken.
Bird, who has had a horror run of injuries over his time in the NRL, will likely miss four weeks or more with a severe ligament strain, while Sele could miss six or more weeks according to NRL Physio.
The club have confirmed both players will require further review from specialists next week before a return to play date can be estimated.
Bird’s injury will likely see Zac Lomax move into the centres, with Christian Tuipulotu coming onto the wing, and Sele’s injury will see a reshuffling of the forward pack.
