The Bulls have been hit by a devastating blow with the news Brett Kearney will be out for six to eight weeks.

Kearney suffered a broken hand in last night's 30-22 defeat to Leeds.

The Aussie playmaker is the fourth Bulls player to be sidelined long-term already this season.

Jamie Langley will miss four weeks after having surgery on a shoulder problem, while Nick Scruton and Danny Addy are out with a dislocated wrist and broken thumb respectively.
