Everyone will have seen his photo by now I'm sure just wondering if anyone has any idea how long we will be without him.
Can't imagine you can play with a gash that bad!

It's awful, isn't it?!

I'd heard they were uncertain if he would be out next week or not, I've always been a critic and to say I'm overjoyed with Carlile getting gametime is an understatement. If he does miss a couple of weeks, I really hope Keal makes it a very tough decision to drop him.

So long as there is no concussion i cant see him having to miss a game because of it.

I suppose he'll be dressed as Petr Cech then at the very least.

Just watched the game again, the cut wasn't caused by the collision, if you watch him on the floor the Wakey player catches his the top of his head with his heel (no doubt blades) and you see lincolns head bounce. pure accident. the same as Mika's on report incident.

I was surprised that wasn't picked up on Sky to be honest. Saw it on the first replay (heel on head) and wondered if it might have caused any damage. Then saw the bloody towel on his head as he went off. Didn't expect a gash that big though!

Anyone see Damien Blanche's tweet comparing photos of his cut and that Newcastle United player who got tapped on the shin?! Hilarious jab at footy players.

Two brutal games this weekend on Sky! The off season is way too long!

Yep thought the same when I saw it this morning after being at work last night.

Poor lad looks like a baseball, never nice to see players getting hurt, just a reminder of how tough these guys are out there.

Even if theres concussion, as long as they pass there head test scores they are cleared to play

Crickey, tough way to make a living.

you are keals biggest fan though

Why would anyone not want Carlile to make it really hard for himself to be dropped, all that would mean is that he's playing well.

Dum dum / Edith

that was just a reply to edith not a comment really on carliles form

Not me boss.

Just watched it back, Webbo is right, the initial contact with the head is almost side on, it's actually a Poore's heel that does the damage.

Check out the comments underneath the article as well. Football v Rugby eh ?

Whilst at work yesterday I got to speaking with David Hodgson and Alan fellows and they both said that although you couldn't see it it was the collision and not the heel that caused it as the blood was flowing before he hit the ground.
If folks choose not to believe that then they can feel free.

No, you're wrong.

That part of his head doesn't make contact in the tackle and, like all deep wounds, it wasn't bleeding at all for a short while. It was Piper's heel, no doubt about it.

I'm not the one that is wrong.
Players on the field and part of the team that carried him off are apparently.

They also stated it WASN'T his heel.

But again believe what ever you want.

It doesn't matter if you're an RLFans mod OR an Hull Kingston Rovers player, you only have to watch the telly.

I'll believe the evidence as it's displayed.

DId he stitch it up himself. Jesus wept. Anyway scrumcap and a couple of paracetamol he'll be right.

I can empathise with him I got a paper cut on my tongue once. Very painful.
