I thought that Scott Murrell played well against Wigan and would expect him to get first shot at the 6 shirt. It is a blow but it isnt the end of the world. It will reduce our creativity but judging by our first 2 performances we are going to spend more time trying to run over people than around them anyway.

Have you even watched the previous two friendlies? The two youngsters have struggled and neither have a kicking game to trouble a local amateur side let alone Leeds, Wigan, Saints and no disrespect but any Championship side.

Scotty played well at 7 against Wigan but has grown up playing 6 (two totally different positions), he has and can kick accurately and creatively. His passing game is usually spot on and while not boasting great speed he certainly can defend. Something Beharrel struggles with and Bell would find tough against SL opposition.

I think we need Withers around the ruck to speed the game up but as another option he could go in there as long as Murrell is playing 13 so we still have a second in-play kicker.

Typical, you put a dream halfback combo together then 1 spends half of last season on sidelines this season the other!

has any one found out if its true i have just been on hull kr official web site which has just updated and no mention bad news if true lets

its not true

Pulled loads of west Hull lasses when lashed up in Spiders as a nipper me.

Will be a massive blow but we'll have to just get on with it until he is fit

I suggest you watch the Wigan match again on Hull Kr TV.
Don't you think it's rather a long way to travel(13,000 miles) for Kristian Bell or Matty Beharrel.

statement now on official site

He must be gutted. All the best Greeny, wishing you a speedy recovery.

I heard from someone this afternoon that he may be out for between six and eight weeks, so as there is some discrepancy in the information we have both
been given, it may be a case of the situation been somewhat exaggerated, lets hope so.



Just seen the official statement after posting, dam!.

Its only rugby.

I have seen what a clot did to a relative, its not nice. Hope he gets better soon.

he was not at sponsors presentation night last night so it must be quite serious. get well soon BG, looked sharp against wigan too, big loss to the side.

Rotten luck.Hope he recovers quickly.

Serious that, get on the rat poison and get well soon Blake.

Agree...6-12 months is the usual for that stuff.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

Sounds serious. How do you develop a blood clot - I know you can get a DVT on a flight for example, but not something you hear about often as an RL injury as such. Is it just a spontaneous thing? Blooming bad luck if so.

Not sure in this case, but its not a 1st at Rovers. David Luckwell had a bad one in his leg a few years ago, he was out ages and even when he did get back he was never the same player.

get well soon mate, hopefully soon, nobody likes to hear of injuries as bad as this,

Most common cause is after an operation in the leg, my husband developed one after he had his cartridge trimmed in his knee (old rugby injury). He was on warfarin for 12 months and carried a card, the issue with the drug is that it thins the blood so if you are involved in an injury which involves blood loss you pose a higher risk. It thins the blood as the danger of a clot is it may reach the heart which is life threatening or the lungs.

Can be managed for contact sports even if NOT on warfarin See Link www.stoptheclot.org/News/article126.htm

That's really rotten luck. Good luck to him and I hope he recovers soon.

Not sure, but I believe Kirk Dixon had the same problem last year, out for a while.
Speedy recovery Blake, not nice to hear.

There are various other drugs that may be as effective and could get him on the field quicker. I am currently in pot and have blood thinners to take, but they are all short term effect. The main thing is to bust the clot and then look at whether it is the result of trauma or whether long term management is needed.

It's a tough thing to happen to someone who makes a living from contact sport.
