He is out for 3 months. He could have been out for 6 months. That would have been worse so yes, it could have been worse.

Skysports reports it was a Weight Training accident, i just put two and two together from a vague report and my own experience, though like i say it hasnt been confirmed as such.

I`d prefer to look at the positive, we`ll get a fresh, and raring to go Gareth Carvell back for the most important part of the season. We should make the play offs no problem, its what we do in the play offs that matters and to have a fresh forward back with his pace will be a big plus.

Vinnie out with a broken toe...... see BBC sport.

i love a bit of brea......



actually forget it.

If Carvell has a leg broken badly enough to require 3 months out, why was he messing about being driven to appointments by Richie Mathers?



Why wasn't he off to hospital on gameday for treatment in an ambulance?

i thought that as well.... not very professional... you would think a break would be treated immediately.

It's quite common with serious injuries like this for full diagnosis and then treatment to not take place immediately and sometimes there can be several days delay. Often swelling needs to be allowed to reduce. The club has well qualified and experienced medical staff so I'm sure there is no reason to doubt the steps taken between the injury occuring and him seeing a consultant.

Hilarious.

Time to call up a few from leigh who are on dual registration?

I dunno, look at Arsenal. Fabregas was taken from the ground by an ambulance to Arsenal's private clinic of choice. No messing, no hobbling around waiting for Richie Mathers to turn up to take him into A&E at Warrington general.



And Carvell's is obviously far more serious given the duration quoted for his time out.

Not really. Clubs can not see a break without x-rays. Players go next day for scans giving time for fluids etc to settle. Only reason why Ritchie took Gaz is because the club wanted him to get checked local to club and they live in Yorkshire, and Gaz cant drive. It is called being a mate and helping out, and also as Ritchie has to be at club anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!
