Just announced a 1 month loan to Whitehaven, not sure if there's a recall clause.

Wish FM mentioned that Burgess didn't have a brace on his leg but I saw pictures of him sat in the changing room after the game with a big black knee brace on. It was over the top of black trousers so I'm guessing Wish FM missed it.

Fingers crossed it's a case of missing a few games rather then a season job.

Just seen budgie dragging his leg around, up at middlebrook. Very big brace on it. Doesn't look good at all. Clearly in pain

IIRC you are unable to recall a loaned out player during the first month. That is probably why clubs use DR more than loans when sending players out.

Played for Swinton last week.

Good timing then!

An update is in the WEP-

Tierney-Doesn't need surgery but is looking at 6 weeks on the sidelines.

Sutton-Is likely to be out for a month.

Burgess-They don't think it's a long term injury but could need surgery and early indication is about 6 weeks out. He does need another scan though to see the full extent of the injury (so I presume that could change).

The evening post seems to indicate Gildart may be OK for Thursday and they mention Bateman may be OK (but don't seem to know too much).

Happy with either Davies or Forsyth but would like be to get Gildart or Bateman back so we have two good centres alongside the two young wingers

The squad can cope with the other injuries without too many problems.

I wouldn't worry about Higgy going out on loan at the moment he would be behind Forsyth and Tom Davies in the pecking order anyway.

So Burgess is out for 4 - 6 weeks and the perpetrator (Acton) gets charged with a grade A offence!! www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/disciplinary

I thought it should have been a higher grade, he appeared to twist Burgess's leg after the tackle was completed, but that was from my initial viewing at the game.
