(shudder) He did indeed.

Sounds a lot more serious than a dislocated patella. Usually severe ligament damage if the knee joint itself is dislocated. I hope for Hally he makes a full recovery ....

All the best to Ryan. Tremendous player for Leeds. Sad to see his career at club snd international level winding down like this.

I've done it twice - dislocated knee. The first time I did it in training and played 3 days later with considerable strapping. The second time - not so lucky. That was 18 months, but that was mainly down to an internal fracture in my knee and then being treated incorrectly for 8 months. Nobody noticed the big piece of bone smashed off the end of my femur even though I kept pointing at it on the X-Ray, sadly only spotted when I finally gave up on the NHS and went private.

Absolute one out clueless dross they had their best prop best 7 & lost their 6 5 minutes in & won a lot easier than the scoreline suggests.
The England Knights would have made a better game if it at least they would have attacked.
Bennett has been a total waste of money players picked on reputation & too many played out of position.

Yes, sums it up.

Also good to see our refs are as $h!t as our players. Some of the worst officiating I've seen in decades. Utterly ridiculous policing of the tackle and PTB.

Lions Crash to Third Tour Loss as the Kiwis Dominate : Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:54 am  

Lions Crash to Third Tour Loss as the Kiwis Dominate The Lions Tour of Oceania was in danger of turning into a whitewash after last weekends 12-8 loss to New Zealand. This week the rugby league world turned its eyes to Christchurch for the second contest with the Kiwis, the Lions desperate for the win to regain some pride. Great Britain lost the services of  Ryan Hall and Zak Hardaker with Blake Austin being selected on the wing by coach Bennett. Shaun Johnson was recalled for the Kiwi's after being dropped for last weeks match and was certain to be looking to prove a point. Conditions were oppressively hot at the OrangeTheory Stadium as the sides took the field for another bruising encounter. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

Time for Bennett to pack up n go along with half of that squad n fetch in Daryl Powell it would take me too long to name names but I'm sure mm ost know who they are. Great Britain NB have gone NB backwards at an alarming rate

With so many injured, I'm surprised that the games were as close.
We had chances, but our pivots couldn't create, and I couldn't believe how little either halfback touched the ball in NZ's 20m.
Most of all though, we lack dynamism in the pack and pace and power mobility in the backs, I'm not sure how we rectify that going forward.

How a so called super coach can not see things not working, and make positive changes, I do not know. Surely Austin should have been moved to halfs in that second half?
