The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have been dealt a huge blow with inspirational captain James Graham ruled out for at least a month with a minor neck injury.

“Unfortunately the Bulldogs’ medical staff have determined the best action for James is to undergo a minor procedure for an ongoing neck injury,” Canterbury CEO Raelene Castle said.

“We are disappointed to lose our captain for the next four weeks.”

Graham will be joined on the sidelines by fellow forward Greg Eastwood who has been rubbed out for six weeks with a knee injury.
