NRL 2025: Ryan Papenhuyzen to miss Storm's game against the Panthers
The Storm have suffered an almighty blow with fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen to miss Thursday night's grand final rematch against the Panthers after entering concussion protocols. Papenhuyzen recently missed a month with a calf strain but was outstanding in last week's win over the Broncos, with Nick Meaney shifting from right centre to replace him at the back. The 2020 Clive Churchill Medal winner was enormous for the Storm in that grand final, with Melbourne's top-two hopes set to take a huge hit if they lose on Thursday. Melbourne's backline crisis opens the door for Marion Seve to play just his third match in the past two seasons, with the centre fresh from scoring a hat-trick for North Sydney earlier this month. Ryan Papenhuyzen is the latest Storm star to be sidelined. Picture:They face an unchanged Panthers side, with coach Ivan Cleary confident that co-captain Isaah Yeo will return from a shoulder injury before the finals. Broncos coach Michael Maguire has turned to Ben Hunt and Billy Walters to play in the halves with regular pairing Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam both nursing hamstring injuries after a freak chase last week. Cory Paix gets the nod at hooker for the game against the Dolphins which has major finals implications. There's mixed news for the Warriors as they try to keep in touch with the top four with Tanah Boyd brought back to replace Te Maire Martin, while they'll also be missing veteran Kurt Capewell (concussion) but they do get back Wayde Egan. Egan Butcher has been rewarded for his good form and will start in the back row in place of Siua Wong (concussion protocols) against a Bulldogs side that could welcome back fullback Connor Tracey from injury. The Sharks have lost strike centre Jesse Ramien (broken thumb) for the rest of the season, while back-rower Briton Nikora will miss three matches due to suspension. Lehi Hopoate has been named on the wing with Tom Trbojevic to keep the No.1 jersey. Picture:That sees Mawene Hiroti get a crack at right centre while Billy Burns has been promoted to the starting side for a game against the Titans who have lost Brian Kelly and Alofiana Khan-Pereira but welcome back Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Phil Sami and Mo Fotuaika. Tom Trbojevic will remain at fullback even with Lehi Hopoate returning to the starting side for the clash against the Wests Tigers, while Jake Trbojevic won't play as he deals with his latest head knock. And young gun Connor Votano will make his NRL debut at fullback, with veteran Dane Gagai returning to right centre for Newcastle's clash with the Cowboys who get Jordan McLean back from injury.

Footy star reveals the horror health risk that has forced him to break new ground in the NRL by wearing goggles for the rest of his career
Footy star Marion Seve is determined to continue playing despite suffering a horror injury during a match that has left him with a visual impairment in one eye. The defiant Melbourne Storm star, aged 30, was on the receiving end of an accidental boot to the eye while playing for the North Sydney Bears during a NSW Cup game in June. He had feared going blind and having to give up his playing career after the 'traumatic' injury, after a stud on the cleat made direct contact with his eyeball. In a remarkable turn of events, he is now back on the footy but will have to wear a pair of protective goggles for the remainder of his career. 'I could tell by the doctor's face that it was pretty serious and there were chances I could lose my sight. I was a bit worried. No one wants to lose their eyesight and there were worries my retina could have been detached,' Seve told The Daily Telegraph. After the incident took place, his vision out of his right eye went white. More concerningly, his sight later turned dark. 'That's when I started getting worried,' he explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by North Sydney Bears (@northsydneybearsofficial) Marion Seve (left) will need to wear eye-goggles for the remainder of his footy career after he suffered a horrific eye injury Seve rushed to the Royal North Shore Hospital, where he underwent immediate surgery. He explained that he also had bleeding to the back of his eye, which doctors later stopped during surgery. 'It was a waiting game from then on. They told me the injury was pretty traumatic. I always try to brush things off and think I'll be okay but I could feel the vibe was serious,' he added. Doubts started to creep in over whether the Storm centre, who married his partner Chloe in November last year, should continue to play footy. The 30-year-old revealed that he can now see out of his right eye, but his vision remains blurry, with Seve adding that he needs prescription glasses to read and struggles with his long sight. Meanwhile, his surgeons had warned that if he takes another hit to the eye, he could permanently lose his eyesight. Seve first joined the Storm in 2019 and has made 48 appearances for the footy club, scoring 12 tries. The 30-year-old, who admits he is motivated to push on through adversity, wasn't going to bring a premature halt to his footy career just yet. Upon recommendations from his club, he has started wearing an eye mask that resembles a pair of ski goggles. And he got a chance to test them out properly last Sunday, with the footy star turning out for the Bears in the NSW Cup. Seve touched down for three tries to help his side claim a huge victory against Newcastle, in which he was named the player's player of the match. It is not uncommon to see athletes in other disciplines wear goggles. Dutch Football star Edgar Davids, basketball hero Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Collingwood ruckman Mason Cox are some in a long line of athletes to have worn goggles. However, for rugby league, this is a fairly unique occurrence, according to Bears CEO Gareth Holmes, who added the entire club were worried about Seve's sight. 'I've not seen a player wear goggles before. They strap around the back of his head. During breaks in play, he took them off to wipe away the sweat, wipe them clear and give his face some air,' Holmes told the outlet. 'It would have been foreign to him.' Seve admitted that it took a bit of time to get used to while adding that he still had some stitches in his eye that he'll look to get removed during the off-season. 'I wasn't too keen on [wearing the goggles] because I'd cop some from the boys and I would look weird on the field,' he added. 'It turned out good for me. I had a good response and everyone is happy that I'm back playing. I got the goggles about a week after I hurt my eye so I had been wearing them when training and running to get used to them and to feel comfortable.'
