The Dolphins have faced a devastating setback with Jack Bostock’s suspected ACL injury, forcing him to leave the field with assistance from medical personnel.
In the 27th minute, Bostock retrieved the ball from a kick against the Knights but collapsed prior to making contact.
A sharp crack resonated through the stadium as he went down, immediately grasping at his knee, which was already heavily strapped.
“That was clearly audible,” commented Steve Roach on Fox League.
Caller Warren Smith remarked: “He’s clearly upset; this appears to be a non-contact injury.”

This season, the winger has made an impressive contribution, scoring nine tries across 12 matches.
