The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs can confirm both Corey Allan and Lachlan Lewis have been taken to hospital after heavy knocks following the club's round nine loss to the St George Illawarra Dragons.

Allan suffered damage to his neck and shoulder when he was taken over the sideline by four Dragons defenders and play was stopped for several minutes as medicos stabilised him before he was taken from the field in the 59th minute for further treatment.

Following the match, Trent Barrett confirmed in his post-match media conference that Lewis suffered lung damage and had also been taken to hospital for a full examination after leaving the field in the 65th minute.

"(Lachlan Lewis) has got a lung issue. He's gone to hospital. There was a bit of carnage there. Him and Corey Allan are both in hospital. (Lachlan) has a rib/lung issue so he has gone to hospital and Corey Allan's head/neck. We're not sure how they are, fingers crossed," Barrett said.

Wishing a speedy recovery to both players. Never good to see that sort of thing happen

Might not be a fan of either, yet don't wish actual hospitalisation upon either.

Injury update: Lewis and Allan released from hospital​

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs can provide the follow injury update on Corey Allan and Lachlan Lewis.

Allan and Lewis were both taken to hospital after heavy knocks following the club's round nine loss to the St George Illawarra Dragons last night, but both were released from hospital overnight.

Scans cleared Allan of any head or neck injury, but the outside back has suffered a grade two AC joint injury to his shoulder which will sideline him for 1-3 weeks.

Meanwhile Lewis was cleared of any internal organ damage after leaving the field in the 65th minute. The half is awaiting further scans for any possible fractures.

In other injury news, prop forward Ava Seumanufagai has passed his off-field medical assessment after failing to finish the game due to a HIA and Dylan Napa missed the round nine match due to failing his return to play contact progressions on his injured shoulder. He will progress this week with an aim to play at Magic Round against the Canberra Raiders.

Captain Josh Jackson (calf), hooker Jeremy Marshall-King (foot) and prop Jack Hetherington (suspension) are three rounds away. Winger Jayden Okunbor (knee) and forward Raymond Faitala-Mariner (foot) are aiming for a mid-June return.

=======================

Good to hear both guys have not suffered any serious injury and should return fairly quickly to the side. I guess that means Tui Katoa will come back into the side, with Meaney moving to fullback and DWZ back into the centres. Doubt that Schoupp will debut as he's heavily overrated by people and nowhere near first grade ready.

We badly need Okunbor back and I hope he absolutely kills it upon his return, because just before he got injured he was in superb form.
