Storm’s Duffie ruled out for NRL season
Melbourne’s luckless winger Matt Duffie will miss the rest of the NRL season with a knee injury.
In an added blow, Duffie, who missed last year’s premiership win with a major shoulder injury, also needs another shoulder reconstruction.
Duffie was returning from a shoulder dislocation in the NSW Cup on Saturday.
But just minutes into his comeback game, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Subsequent scans of both the knee and shoulder have revealed he needs reconstructions of both joints.
“Everyone is totally shattered for Matt – he has had absolutely no luck,” Storm football manager Frank Ponissi said.
“Nobody has worked harder than Duff over the past few years, especially returning from a shoulder reconstruction and another shoulder operation in the last 18 months.
“Understandably, he is totally gutted by the latest setback.”
The Storm hope the 22-year-old will be ready for the start of the 2014 season.
“Once he has dealt with the initial shock and surgery, we know he will commit to the work required and be back at his best in the future with Melbourne Storm,” Ponissi said.
The knee operation will be on Tuesday and the shoulder surgery in several weeks.
The Storm play Manly at AAMI Park on Monday night.
