A standout playmaker has suffered a suspected ACL tear, leading to their immediate withdrawal from action and a replacement named for their team's next game.

This is distressing, this looks terrible,” Andrew Voss said in commentary.
“The look on the face tells you the on-ground test is basically confirming the worst ... that is a very sad sight. ”Fox League reporter Lara Pitt later said it was a suspected ACL tear with Boyd “close to tears” on the sidelines. He recently re-signed until the end of 2029, which led to fellow half Luke Metcalf joining St George Illawarra from next year on a three-year deal.
Boyd was replaced on at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday by former Broncos playmaker Te Maire Martin. Last year, Metcalf ruptured an ACL in the round 17 clash against the Broncos, also at Suncorp. It was Metcalf’s absence at the start of this season that enabled Boyd to assert himself as the chief No.7 at the Warriors. Metcalf, who had been given a break while determining his future, now looms as the likely replacement for Boyd in the weeks ahead.
