Hopefully Sammut and BJ will strike up a decent partnership. BJ is the better kicker of the two for sure, he just needs to find a level of consistency

I've been told Gale WILL need surgery. 6-8 weeks approx.

Been announced officially on the Bulls site. Gale to have surgery this weekend and out for 6-8 weeks

My heart was in my mouth initially when I read the word operation, but we all knew it was 6-8 weeks anyway so it's not the worst news in the world.

Still a bad blow for us and bloody typical it should happen to our main playmaker.

Hope it doesn't mean we'll be playing a down the middle style like at Wakey for the next 8 weeks.

If it works

The Harlem Globetrotters never lost.

[sizeTechnically they never played any games, but that's neither here nor there. [/size

But they never would have lost is the point. They were so good, you could have nuked 'em and they would still have won. I once saw a TV game they played where they were all heavily sedated, bound hand and foot, blindfolded and their feet were nailed to the floor, and they still won by 180 points. It was impressive let me tell you.

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.
