CHEYNE Lennon's horror injury curse has struck again with The Entrance enforcer set to miss two months after dislocating his shoulder against Macquarie on Saturday.
The injury is a bitter blow for the powerful front-rower only two weeks out from the start of the Jim Beam Cup season.
He was charging the ball up only two minutes into the match against the Scorpions and fell awkwardly in a tackle. He knew straight away he was ``gone''.
Lennon is no stranger to major injuries in trial matches. A year ago he was ruled out for the entire 2006 season after suffering a knee injury from the kick-off in a trial against Wyong.
The two teams meet again in a trial at Morrie Breen Oval, Kanwal, tomorrow night with Lennon forced to watch from the sidelines.
``It's extremely disappointing, I can't take a trick in trials the past two years,'' he said.
``I knew straight away I was in trouble. I could feel the shoulder pop out and then my arm was stuck in the air, I couldn't bring it down.''
Lennon was taken by ambulance to John Hunter Hospital. Doctors worked for several hours to put the shoulder back into place.
``It was about midnight when it was back in,'' Lennon said. ``It's excruciating pain, worse then the knee from last year.''
Lennon is hoping to only miss four Jim Beam Cup matches.
