James Donaldson @James_Donaldson
Looks like I have tweaked my medial! Got a scan on wed! Then take it from there. Hopefully only a 4/6 weeks! Gutted !!

You have got to feel for the young lad after the injury set backs he's suffered

Balls! He was starting to show some improvement too. Hope he's back soon, suppose it could be worse.

Anybody know if it's the same knee as before?

Im pretty sure it was his right knee he did against Warrington, and yesterday it was his right knee too! But dont hold me to that! Shame for the lad, But still Dan Addy and Elima to come in. 2 second rowers in 2 games!

Such a shame for the lad, looked good yesterday before he was injured.

I am sure a decent run of games would show how good he is.

Anybody know what the problem with Purtell was?

According to his twitter -

Thanks for the messages, pec injury, new injury for me so hopefully know the extent over the next few days...

Hope it's nothing too serious for the pair of them!

Feel sorry for Donaldson. Some fans wrote him off after last year. I still believe the lad will become a star. Before his cruciate injury he was in outstanding form and he just couldn't back to full fitness or a run of games last year. Hopefulyl it's not too much of a setback as the guy has got talent.

Like for like swap with Addy IMO. Shame Olbison is injured though because he looked real good last season.

Think it's a different knew to the one he injured previously. Shame for the lad as he had really kicked on and had recaptured his form from before the knee injury. It's his last year of contract do I hope we see him back and showing us what he can do

Confirmed on twitter by Ross, James is out for 6 months. Cruel luck for the kid, it really is.

Absolutely gutted for him. I think he really needed to kick on this year and he looked in good shape in pre season. Its effectively season over for him when I believe he is OOC at the end of the year.

Shame for him, Gotta be cya later for him though, hasnt shown enough in games hes been fit.

Gutted for James he had started to show his talent after coming back from the first injury. Out of contract this year, will the bulls throw him to the lambs or stick by him since he is home grown and should really be given a new contract

Played against him through all the junior years up here in cumbria. Fantastic player who ripped these youth leagues apart and when he signed for bulls i was expecting big things from him but when you get x2 ACL injuries you carnt help but feel sorry for the guy thats probably his time at bradford over now

gutted for him, I hoped he would be able to crack on this year but he's had another bad injury.

Grim news. Feel for the lad.
We are really cursed with injuries once again.

Terrible luck as he was just starting to show a few good signs.

I've no idea what we're paying him but I'd like to see the club stick by him and give him next year if reasonably possible.

Agree with that. There's far too much talent there just to give up on him. It really is terrible luck for the lad.

Is it a recurrence, or a new injury?

Opposite leg to the previous reconstruction

He's got the right attitude to overcome it.

Give him a 1 year deal. It would be ludicrous to get rid of him at 20 year old. The guy shows so much potential. Leeds kept faith with Watkins and looked what's happening there. I can see us getting rid and he been signed up by someone else, having agreat run in the team and becomign a superb player.

Give him a 1 year deal.

The difference being Watkins has masses of potential.
