Dragons<\/a> front-rower Madison Mulhall was helped off the field in tears on Saturday after suffering what appeared to be a serious knee injury during a 28-8 loss<\/a> to the Bulldogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One moment, the young prop was taking a crunching carry. She charged onto an offload from captain Brooke Anderson in the 47th minute, fended off Latisha Smythe and sent Ashleigh Quinlan tumbling.<\/p>\n

She clutched at her knee immediately and was soon in tears as medics came to her aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope it\u2019s a fast recovery for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a very promising young talent.\u201d<\/p>\n
