Morrison injury blow for Bulls

Bradford's problems have increased with the loss of influential vice-captain Glenn Morrison with a wrist injury for the next three months.

The 32-year-old second rower sustained a ruptured ligament during the early stages of the Bulls' 28-26 defeat at Castleford on Sunday but stayed on the field for the full 80 minutes.

"I am desperately disappointed for Glenn because he has been playing really well this year," said coach Steve McNamara.

"Such is his courage that he never mentioned the injury until after the game, although he did it in the opening minutes," he added.

The injury is a body blow for Bradford, who are in the bottom four of the engage Super League after winning just one of their first six matches of the season.

"It's a blow for us but these things are part and parcel of the game and Glenn's injury will give an opportunity for someone else to step up," McNamara added.

Morrison missed three months of last season with a broken kneecap and a torn quad muscle but has been an ever-present so far this year.
