League Express saying that he could have suffered a medial cruciate ligament injury

Seriously hope not.

Hope not. He didn't seem unduly worried on Twitter.

And it seemed like an ankle to me not knee.

Don't think you carry on playing as Fifita did with one of those - suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Just hope it's nothing too serious.
We have plenty of options in the forwards , with Huby and Hirst goth going really well but, Big Dave gives us the X factor and he would be a big miss for us, just as he was after going off against Leeds.

Not on the total RL web site.

The article in League Express starts by saying: [i "is thought to have picked up a medial cruciate ligament injury." [/i but the goes on to quote Chris Chester as saying: [i" it was something to do with his knee. I don't know if it is a cork or a medial"[/i
In our Aussiefied game, I believe a 'cork' is a deadleg. ????

So basically they don't know, as Dave was going for a scan today.

Not wishing to be a smart a*** but I'm a Physio and there isn't a medial cruciate ligament. There are 2 ligaments that cross over deep and centrally in the middle of the knee (anterior and posterior cruciates) that stop the Thigh and shin bones sliding directly forward and back on each other. Rupture of the front (anterior) makes the knee very unstable in most instances. The medial ligament is on the inside of the knee. It's not great if its ruptured either but is a bit less problematic than ACL. Degree of strain or tear is obviously important too.

I did my medial ligament on my right knee playing rugby a number of years ago...it's very painful and stiffens up badly. Can't see him playing for 5/6 weeks if it's that. Hopefully it's a dead leg as he will be missed.

Really hope this isn't true

4-6 weeks, well it could have been worse...

Where has this been reported?

North standers

Nothing on the Wakey official site yet.

Supposed to have come directly from Fifita

Nothing on his twitter account.

Could we be keeping Salford guessing if he will be fit. a bit of mind games before the CC quarter final won't do any harm. i heard he was in the gym on Sunday the day after the match. Believe what you want!

Limping at Pontefract races, don't think he's a chance forThursday. Lovely bloke though.

Did he have his shorts on? He wears shorts more than I do.

Was it Jones-Buchanan who caused the damage and has just received a 2 match ban for???

No it was Brett Ferres and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it at all...

He banged his knee at Wigan and had it iced up

No, he was looking very smart in trousers and a posh shirt.

I cant remember which of their players it was but, he took offence at one of the Leigh forwards "attacking" his leg in the win over there, which may have been the start of the problem ?
