Speaking to Channel 9 this morning, Curnow said he wasn’t concerned about possible ACL damage.

“That’s all cleared, I’m pretty sure,” Curnow told Nine News.

“It (the knee) feels pretty good.

“Just pulled up a bit sore last night.

“After we strapped it up, we just made the decision to not really risk it.

“Just had the scan then so have to wait and see for the results.”

The Blues will take on Sydney, Gold Coast and the Western Bulldogs across the next three weeks.
