James Donaldson

Horrendous injury at Odsal today hopefully he will make a full recovery back to the game

Dead right mate well said! hope it's not as bad as it looked but I feel it might be!

That looked painful . Wishing him a speedy recovery .

YES FEEL FOR THE POOR LAD

It certainly looked like a bad `un

I hope the kid makes a quick and full recovery

he has put this on Twitter this evening...


Thanks 4 the tweets! Knee sore n in pain just gota rest until Tuesday when I see the specilist! Fingers crossed. Effot today was outstanding

Honest as a Leeds fan felt awful for the lad, hope it's just something like jp

You can tell it's bad when they go down with no one around. Good luck.

Just seen it on TV, looked a bad one. Never nice to see someone get injured so hope he makes a full recovery.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery...

Looked like ACL trashed. Hope he makes a full recovery

That looked really really bad, hope he makes a full recovery. Why do these cruciate knee ligament injuries always seem to happen to the young ones?

Only in Rugby League would anything like this happen, fans of our BIGGEST RIVALS opening a thread to wish one of our guys a full and speedy recovery, massive respect to you all.

Could you imagine this happening on football forums?? Thought not!

Donno is a top prospect and I wish him well but from what I saw at Odsal today it looked a bad one but heres hoping. Not sure if this is allowed but can you post Donnos twitter ID for me? (if not would somebody PM me it?) I would like to wish him all the best too.

Once again massive respect to all you Rhinos!!

My misses who knows sack all about rugby asked "is he faking it like they do in football ?" to which my reply was
"No babe, if they stay down they are usually hurt quite bad these are 'proper' men"

Good luck fella, the united rugby family is behind you.

Good luck to the kid, it made me feel sick watching it.

It really was a bad one, heres hoping that its not as bad as first feared and he can get back to playing the greatest game as soon as.

Good luck fella.

For anyone who didn't see it it was one of those injuries that makes you wince just seeing it . His leg just went from underneath him when he was changing direction . It folded at a very unnatural angle , and kinda flopped about like it was broken .
Respect to the Wire fans for clapping him off the field . Only saw one or two dancing as the stretcher was carried off .

Leeds fans who have posted on this thread - true fans of the game all - I salute you.

I'm certain you would do the same if it was one of ours . All the best to the lad . Hope to see him back in action soon .

Get well soon fella.

Cruciate damage by the looks of it. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

It certainly looked a bad one, and I hope it's only the lad's season which is spoiled as he looks a cracking prospect.

Good luck on Tuesday young 'un.

Watkins and now this further good young lad. It's a hell of a game. As with Watkins, I wish him well and a FULL recovery: such a crippling awful injury so early in his career.

I'm no doctor but to me that was snapped cruciate and possible medial ligament as well, really was a horrible, awkward scene. Here's hoping it's not as bad as it looked, and for a speedy recovery.
