SALFORD RED DEVILS have suffered a long-term injury blow with Joe Bullock set for a significant amount of time on the sidelines.
After plying his trade with Barrow Raiders on dual-registration in a 37-12 win over Widnes Vikings last weekend, Bullock was taken off late in the game with a lower leg injury.
As a result, the 32-year-old will be out for eight weeks.
Barrow head coach Paul Crarey told The NWE Mail: “It is a massive blow not only for us, but for Joe and Salford.
“We were all looking forward to him playing against London (Broncos) before our home fans, who took him to their hearts when last with us.
“I also feel sorry for my good friend, Salford coach Paul Rowley, who has also lost him for that eight-week period.
“With Salford under restrictions until the RFL confirms the takeover of the club, Rowley has had to slash his salary cap and has lost some of his top players to other clubs.
“Joe was allowed to come here to reduce the wage bill while Jamie Pye, who we had on loan from them, went back in return.”
