In a blow that will surely leave the Canterbury Bulldogs reeling, Director of Football Phil Gould has confirmed that forward Max King may be sidelined for the remainder of the season with a wrist fracture.
This news, reported by the folks at zerotackle.com, comes after King sustained the injury during a heart-stopping golden point victory over the New Zealand Warriors last weekend.
Initial optimism that King's injury was minor has been shattered, with Gould revealing the unfortunate truth about the fractured wrist.
Now, the Bulldog will need to seek counsel from a surgeon as he faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines.
This setback is sure to test the Bulldog's depth and resilience, but as they say in the world of Rugby League, when one player goes down, another has the opportunity to shine.
Here's hoping that King's recovery is speedy and smooth, and that he'll be back on the field in no time.
