Bradford grateful for Solomona's reprieve
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bradford were relieved to hear last night that their accomplished forward, David Solomona, will miss just the first month of the new season, rather than most of the Super League campaign.
The Kiwi international was carried off during the friendly against Wigan on Sunday and it was feared that he had damaged his cruciate ligament, putting him out of action for six months. But a scan has shown that the damage is confined to his medial ligament and he could be back in six weeks.
"Whilst it is disappointing for the club and for David himself, it could be a lot worse," said Steve McNamara, the Bulls' coach.
The other main injury victim from that game, the newly-signed winger, Semi Tadulala, has been confirmed as suffering from a depressed fracture of the cheekbone. The former Wakefield man now faces a six-week spell on the sidelines.
