Beale to miss Warriors' season start Thu 09 Nov, 2017, 4:10pm Angelo Risso, AAP Warriors recruit and Kiwi utility back Gerard Beale will miss up to eight weeks of next year's NRL campaign as he recovers from a broken leg. The 27-year-old Beale collapsed in New Zealand's 38-8 Rugby League World Cup pool win over Toa Samoa in late October and underwent surgery. While he appeared to injure himself with no contact, coach David Kidwell later told reporters Beale had hurt himself making an earlier tackle. His recovery time has been projected at six months, ruling the ex-Cronulla player out for the remainder of the World Cup and around eight weeks of the 2018 NRL season. Recuperating in Auckland, Beale has been in regular contact with Kidwell and the rest of his Kiwis teammates as they look to progress through Pool B. They'll play Tonga on Saturday for top spot in their pool. Dean Whare covered admirably for Beale in last week's 74-6 thumping of Scotland, while Peta Hiku is also capable of stepping up. Kidwell was thwarted in his attempts last week to nominate a replacement for Beale. Rugby League World Cup guidelines allow for player replacements, but only if injuries leave a team short in a particular position. "It's not possible - through the Rugby League World Cup rules, you have to wait until your stocks are depleted," Kidwell said this week. "There's 24 committed guys in the jersey and Gerard's still part of this team, still feels like he belongs and, whenever he can, he'll be part of this." Elsewhere, the Warriors confirmed Tongan centre Solomone Kata would have surgery on a broken foot suffered in the 32-18 World Cup win over Samoa. He will be ready in January to begin pre-season training. http://www.nrl.com/beale-to-miss-warriors-season-start/tabid/10874/newsid/115279/default.aspx
Storm's Sandor Earl suffers ACL injury Wed 22 Nov, 2017, 2:20pm NRL.com Sandor Earl's NRL comeback is over before it began with the 28-year-old Storm winger tearing his ACL at training. The injury will require surgery and all but ends Earl's hopes of returning to the NRL in 2018. Earl played 48 NRL games for the Roosters, Panthers and Raiders before being banned for four years from August 2013 following an ASADA investigation into the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. With his ban expired, Earl was thrown a lifeline by the Storm ahead of the 2018 season, however the club announced on Wednesday that Earl had suffered an ACL injury at training and would require surgery. "Scans [Wednesday] revealed the extent of the 28-year old's injury to his right knee, following an innocuous non-contact drill," the Storm stated. Melbourne Storm football director Frank Ponissi said everyone at the Storm was "devastated" for Earl. "He is understandably shattered at the moment and we will support him in every way on and off the field to assist Sandor's return back to playing," Ponissi said. "While he has only been with the club a short time, he has earned the respect of the coaches and players in the way he has approached training and embraced the standards and values of our club. "We have no doubt he will approach his rehab with the same impressive attitude." Earl shared the news via a Facebook post. "This is by far my most heartbreaking post to date!" Earl wrote. "Unfortunately [Tuesday] during a skills session I tore my ACL. "As many of you may know this is the one injury all athletes wish to avoid. It is a freak accident and a tough pill to swallow. "I couldn't have done anymore in preparation and in effort. I was truly working towards something great this pre-season. The Melbourne Storm have not only taken me on as a team mate and family but been amazing through this transition and awful news. "This is not the way I envisioned repaying such an amazing club, however it's not over yet. "If I hadn't already I'm looking to set new standards to the definition comeback. "I will now shift my focus to rehab and being the best clubman I can be to return bigger and better and make an impact at this great club. "I appreciate everyone's support to date. Although some may be upset I can only ask that you push me to new heights to achieve something special over this next period." http://www.nrl.com/storms-sandor-earl-suffers-acl-injury/tabid/10874/newsid/115517/default.aspx

Tim Browne reveals details of his harrowing injury, with damage to his bowel, kidney and spleen AAP March 21, 2018 9:44am PENRITH prop Tim Browne has revealed the harrowing details behind the injury that led to part of his small intestine being removed in emergency surgery. Browne has previously suffered a fractured skull and been knocked out on a rugby league field but he says the pain after Saturday’s reserve grade accident was the worst he’s experienced. The 30-year-old was left on his haunches after taking an innocuous hit-up and playing the ball in the NSW Cup game against North Sydney at Panthers Stadium. At first he thought he was winded but later discovered his bowel was ruptured and he had suffered damage to his kidneys and spleen. “I thought I was winded at the time, when I took some time to breathe and get it right. But something wasn’t right and I collapsed and couldn’t get off the ground,” he told the Panthers website from his bed in Nepean Hospital. “(The doctor) said he only sees these sorts of injuries in a car accident or a motorbike handle going through the side. He’s never dealt with this on the field, that’s for sure. “It was probably the worst pain I’ve ever experienced but we got through it.” Browne spent two nights in intensive care and was still unable to eat or drink water late on Tuesday. “They had to remove 3cm of my small intestine and then join it up (in surgery),” Browne said. “I took some damage to my spleen but I woke up and they told me it didn’t need to remove it. It will repair itself. “The kidneys also took a hit but they’re fine. They’re coming good now.” Browne is no stranger to serious injury. The 103-game player for Canterbury and Penrith had three plates inserted in his forehead in 2014 following friendly fire from Bulldogs teammate Dale Finucane. The following April he was knocked out for more than 30 seconds after a high hit from Tyson Frizell. He later said it was the fifth concussion of his career. But Browne’s latest injury has him stumped. “There was nothing in it. It was a standard carry that any forward would do. I’m left scratching my head. Nothing different over anything I’ve done in my whole career,” Browne said. “Just everything about it was wrong place, wrong time.” https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...n/news-story/8d7605f4d90ca71bd22a6a7b5e0acb5f
