Sidelined for 4 months after surgery, Bulls looking to bring in replacement on a month to month contract.

Seems the curse is still with us !!

What is the injury ?

Yeah! My first thought was "bloody typical"..

Still, it can't be helped, we (and he!) will just have to grin and bear it, I guess. Pity it didn't come out a bit earlier and he could have been half way through the rehab now.

operation saw him have a piece of bone removed from the top of his femur, He also had a tear to his hip cartilage repaired and the procedure has been hailed as a success.

I was taking to a member of the Bulls staff on Saturday and Ben was already injured when we signed him but we didn't know about it.
Looks like Warrington pulled a fast one on us to get an injured player off their already bursting at the seams salary cap for 2013!

Anyone got any suggestions who might be available for a short term loan?

Feckin ridiculous. Something seriously needs sorting with the medical and physio advice on offer at Bulls.
How many times pre season are players turning up with undiagnosed injuries or injuries that should have been sorted earlier?

totally contary to what the T&A story states -
The 20-year-old Wales forward joined the Bulls in November on a one-year loan deal but has been troubled by a hip problem which was only discovered following his arrival at Odsal.

Ben Evans must be one of the biggest earners in SL...... especially for a player yet ot make his SL debut.....

The member of Bulls staff I spoke to said Ben had been carrying the injury for a while and Warrington must have known about it when he was loaned out to us.

Just reporting what I was told.

At the moment I see our strongest team going into the Wakefield game as:

1 Kearney
2 Platt / Kear
3 Blythe
4 Lulia
5 Foster
6 Sammut
7 Gale (if fit)
8 Sidlow
9 L'Estrange
10 Nas
11 Olbison
12 Whitehead
13 Langley

14 Diskin
15 Walker
16 Donaldson
17 Scruton

Langley will have to do a shift at prop. And if Gale isn't fit, then Kearney to SO, Sammut to SH, and Kear to FB.

Also, anyone know how long Wakefield's Justin Poore has been banned for?

We can't even send him back to Wire as they could kick up a fuss with Blythe and call him back. Sounds a bit ropey from Wire, but I'd have hoped we'd have made him have a medical prior to signing anyway.....obviously not.....

Maybe Wire can drop us another fringe player for a few months?

If it wasn't for bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck!

Can I be first to claim it is a joke, a disgrace & that there is just no consistency then?
