Luckless Melbourne star Ryan Papenhuyzen has suffered a serious leg injury in the Storm's heavy finals loss to Brisbane.
abc.net.au/news/ryan-papenhuyzen-injury-melbourne-storm-brisbane-broncos/102834748Melbourne superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen was taken off the field on a medicab in the dying stages of the Storm's 26-0 finals loss to Brisbane after suffering another serious leg injury.
With a little over seven minutes remaining Papenhuyzen was caught in an awkward position while making a tackle with teammate Nelson Asofa-Solomona. Play was held up for several minutes as medicos attended to Papenhuyzen with Storm officials later confirming he suffered a suspected compound fracture. It's a cruel blow for the 25-year old, who was only three matches into a comeback from a broken kneecap that kept him sidelined for over 12 months.
"I feel sorry for him. It's not good news. The poor fella, just got back and that happens to him," Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster said.More to come.
