luke as been for an xray today no broken bones scan for ligament damage tommorow

Same here but the gameplan versus Wakey won't get us many wins as we effectively ignored our backline. Hopefully we'll make proper use of our backs in weeks to come, especially when we have Purtell and Lulia together in the centres. It'd be barmy to trundle it up the middle with them in the side.

... during which time the diagnosis seems to have been, er, 100% confirmed, and the only additional factor is that the subsequent scan revealed that sadly the injury correctly diagnosed was of a severity that requires an op.

Maybe the Bulls med/physio staff do have a clue after all.
