Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs boss Phil Gould has lifted the lid on the scary scenes shown on Saturday night when skipper Stephen Crichton was stretchered off the field.
The Samoan international remained on the ground after a Raiders' late tackle attempt left him with numbing problems, spreading fear throughout the rugby league world for the Bulldogs star.
Miraculously, Crichton was given the green light to return to Bulldogs training, avoiding any major injury in the club's 40-16 loss against the Canberra Raiders.
The 25-year-old was astonishingly named in the reserves for this weekend's do-or-die clash against the Tigers, but whether he will play is still uncertain.

Corey Horsburgh, a prop for the Canberra Raiders, is considering an early departure from the club, even though he has a year remaining on his contract.
The 28-year-old has established himself as one of the top middle third forwards in the NRL and is now seen as a vital leader for the Raiders.
With 129 NRL games, all but two during a loan at the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2021, Horsburgh has been a consistent performer since his debut in 2019. He also represented Queensland in a State of Origin match in 2023.
According to a **News Corp** report, he is looking to return to Queensland, and the Raiders are likely to allow him to pursue opportunities elsewhere if he can secure a contract.
