“He will be out”:
Tracey’s harm more awful than to begin with thought after club switch

The Canterbury Bulldogs’ most recent recruit Connor Tracey’s lower leg harm is supposedly more awful than to begin with thought.

The utility, who made a shock switch from the Cronulla Sharks last week to connect the Bulldogs and their cast of approaching players for 2024, was accepted to have harmed his lower leg around the time he marked on with the Bulldogs.

But it has presently been uncovered that lower leg harm will not as it were obstruct his pre-season, but run the show him out of a sizeable chunk of the early going in 2024, with the utility improbable to be accessible some time recently Circular 6 agreeing to writer Michelle Religious administrator, who told SEN Radio that the lower leg damage could be a ‘bad roll.’

“Connor Tracey had a bit of an mischance at training,” Religious administrator said on SEN 1170 The Run Domestic.

“24 hours some time recently he really did the bargain (and) marked the modern contract at the Bulldogs, he rolled his lower leg.

“It’s not just an normal roll, it was an extremely terrible roll, he will be out.

“He will certainly miss the (to begin with) five, six weeks of another season.

“(He) can’t do much preseason which could be a enormous blow and you despise to seeing this with rugby association players.”

The player switch that permitted Tracey to switch clubs – which has been affirmed on Thursday and will see youngster Michael Gabrael go the other way back to the Shire – was set to see Tracey likely within the congested fight for a backline Bulldogs shirt.

He is accepted to need to play fullback at Belmore, in spite of the fact that it appears a long shot given the club has signed Stephen Crichton on huge cash to fill the part after he cleared out the Penrith Panthers for what appears to be the same reason.

The damage to Tracey will presently set him back indeed assist, with the utility lost a sizeable chunk of preparing as well as the opening diversions of the year some time recently at last being able to possibly thrust his way back into the side at Belmore under Cameron Ciraldo.
