Bulls suffer Morrison injury blow

Bradford Bulls will be without second row and vice-captain Glenn Morrison for three months because of a wrist injury.

The 32-year-old ruptured ligaments in Sunday's 28-26 defeat at Castleford.

Bulls coach Steve McNamara said: "I am desperately disappointed for Glenn because he has been playing really well this year.

"Such is his courage that he never mentioned the injury until after the game, although he did it in the opening minutes of the match."

McNamara added: "It's a blow for us but these things are part and parcel of the game and Glenn's injury will give an opportunity for someone else to step up."

Morrison missed three months of last season with a broken kneecap and a torn quad muscle but had been an ever-present so far this term.

Bradford have endured a torrid start to the new Super League season, winning only one of their opening six fixtures.
