GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: Footy star reveals the bizarre way he ended up with 40 stitches in his leg
Jeremy Marshall-King has taken to Instagram to reveal to his followers the gruesome injury he sustained during Redcliffe's clash against Penrith in Round 6. The 29-year-old had suffered a deep cut to his right quad during that game which later required stitches. However, the injury reopened during the Dolphins' Round Nine defeat by the Roosters, with Marshall-King playing just 63 minutes of that match. He would subsequently be sidelined for a month after the cut became infected, and only returned for the Dolphin's clash 56-0 victory against the Dragons at the beginning of the month. He then revealed he had to go back into hospital to receive surgery. 'Everyone thought it was just a little scratch but it was two cuts on my leg that were pretty deep,' Marshall-King said to The Courier Mail. GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING Marshall King has been absent for a month after needing surgery to clean out and stitch up this horror wound that became infected 'It got infected at one point and probably didn't heal enough when I came back. 'I reopened it and had to go back in and get surgery. 'They had to clean it out because it got infected and I had over 40 stitches in my quad – inside and outside.' King, who began his NRL career playing for the Wests Tigers, moved to the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2018. The 29-year-old would later move to the Dolphins where he has made 41 appearances for the Queensland outfit. For King, though, it was worth the wait to be back on the footy pitch. He's made an impact on the pitch too, running over 100m in his last two games, helping the Dolphins secure back-to-back wins. 'It wasn't nice but I had to get it done. It's great to be back,' he said. 'Ot is a little setback in my footy this year but it is good to be back playing and getting the wins.'

The 40 stitches that failed to stop Dolphins hooker Jeremy Marshall-King
The Dolphins are creating waves after three weeks of all-time premiership form and hooker Jeremy Marshall-King is just happy to be part of it after surgery. The 29-year-old missed five games with leg lacerations that required surgery after getting infected. His last two matches have been 58-4 and 56-6 wins over North Queensland and St George Illawarra respectively after he missed the previous 44-8 win over Canterbury. Those victories made the Dolphins only one of six teams in premiership history to have won three straight games by 36 points. Marshall-King suffered bad cuts against Penrith in round six and came back too soon in round nine against Sydney Roosters before missing the following four games. ABC Sport is live blogging every round of the AFL and NRL seasons in 2025. On Tuesday he spoke about his ordeal for the first time. "Everyone thought it was just a little scratch but it was two cuts on my leg that were pretty deep," he said. "It got infected at one point and probably didn't heal enough when I came back. I reopened it and had to go back in and get surgery. "They had to clean it out because it got infected and I had over 40 stitches in my quad — inside and outside. "It wasn't nice but I had to get it done. It is a little setback in my footy this year but it is good to be back playing and getting the wins." It is the way the sixth-placed Dolphins are winning that is such a joy. Their attack is on fire and defensively they have been elite, despite missing Daniel Saifiti, Max Plath and Tom Gilbert to season-ending injuries. "It's been really fun and enjoyable the last three weeks and breaking those records as well," he said. "It is all about our connection as a group but it comes back to our defence. The last three weeks we have kept teams to 18 and not many teams do that. "Adversity has been part of this club since we started. We've had a lot of setbacks but us boys bond and connect a lot better when things happen like [injuries]. We've got to keep going and be consistent in what we do." The Dolphins will miss captain Felise Kaufusi to suspension for the next fortnight with hooker Harrison Graham set to come onto the bench against Newcastle in Perth on Saturday afternoon. That will allow stand-out utility Kurt Donoghoe to play longer minutes at lock and not have to slot in at hooker when Marshall-King has a rest. "Kurt's a great player. His ball playing around the middle opens up our edges as well and that is something we had probably been missing," Marshall-King said. "It takes pressure off our halves. He's done a wonderful job."
