SAD SITUATIONAL REPORT: Paps fractures ankle..Murray miss Origin..Reynolds undergoes surgery..

The Brisbane Broncos were dealt a blow early into their game, loosing to Sydney Roosters on Sunday with forward Kurt Capewell ruled out with a calf injury; Adam Reynolds suffers bicep injury in a brutal clash.

The 2024 recruit hobbled from the field in the 29th minute and was ruled out of the remainder of the match after succumbing to the calf complaint.

Coach Andrew Webster said “he’ll be lucky” to be available for their match with the Roosters next Sunday.

Ryan Papenhuyzen has suffered a small fracture to the fibula in the same ankle he injured during last year’s finals series.

Frank Ponissi confirmed on Sunday that the star No.1 would most likely require surgery and was facing 4-6 weeks on the sidelines.

Papenhuyzen suffered the injury as he chased Gold Coast’s AJ Brimson to force a goal line drop out and immediately grabbed at his right ankle.

He was sent for scans immediately after the match and confirmed the injury was related to last year’s broken leg in an Instagram post.

“Thanks for the love. Little fracture above the plate, be back soon,” Papenhuyzen wrote.

Papenhuyzen’s fullback replacement Sua Fa’alogo, who started the match on the wing, was also forced from the field before full-time with a knee problem.

These injuries are sad and affect team performances.
