2-3 months out

If it's the same injury he had before then that would be about right.

bloody hell thats an early diagnosis, the medical staff must know its the same injury as last time then

Unconfirmed reports that he's broken a bone in his foot.

Can't think of an injury to the foot other than a break really?

Actually there are a few soft tissue injuries you can pick up. More likely to be a break though.

Metatarsal apparently. Awful. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

i've had several running based foot injuries to the tissues etc but these typically tend to manifest themselves the day after, especially when putting the foot down first thing in the morning

Only us.

Hope its not as bad as it seemed.

No. it can happen to anyone from any team. your not a special case. this is rugby league, its unfortunate but you have to deal with it.

Cheers for that. However, despite your concern, I know our injury woes have been particularly unlucky in the past 4-5 years. The biggest signing in the league, returning to his old club as our captain, seemed typical of our injury curse!

Anyway, hope he's ok but I fear the worst. Gentle said their was a possibility they could have jabbed him up but chose not too.

Tbf there is clearly a strong correlation between age of signings and frequency of injuries.
It's not all down to bad luck.

confirmed in post match interview metatl ( spelling ?)

Maybe true. Ellis has a good injury record, but this could be a reoccurrence of his foot injury last season.
