Kings backrower George Lehmann copped a nasty nose injury on Saturday, splitting his nostril in half. Any idea how long he will be out for ?
I was at the View vs. Kings game and can verify that George suffered the freakish injury in the last play of the game. Apparently he caught a stud up his nose whilst making a tackle! The injury looked very nasty and, I understand, that he had to wait until Sunday afternoon for surgery. He's a tough rooster and is likely to be back before too long.
Kings were also unlucky to suffer an injury to speedy Five Eight come Fullback, Hugh Yates, who was playing in No.15 on the day because of a previous injury to classy James Kane. Yates appeared to suffer a shoulder injury in trying to score in the corner in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the match. This is probably King's fourth serious injury to one of their backs in the last few weeks. Their depth and resolve will be tested.
Let's hope for a quick recovery for all boys (from all schools) who are unfortunate enough to pick up injuries.
