In a devastating blow to the Redcliffe Dolphins, scans have revealed that Tom Gilbert, one of their key players, has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
This injury occurred during a trial match against the Warriors, leaving Gilbert sidelined for an extensive period of time.
It appears that Lady Luck has not been on Gilbert's side, as he also endured a shoulder reconstruction after the 2023 State of Origin opener, causing him to miss a significant portion of last year.
As the news spreads, fans and teammates alike are left pondering how the Dolphins will fill the void left by Gilbert's absence.
The upcoming surgery and rehabilitation will be crucial in repairing this damage, and all eyes will be on Gilbert as he embarks on his road to recovery.
Truly, injuries are a cruel reminder of the physical demands and sacrifices required in the sport of Rugby League.
