The green whistle, extra painkillers, and mad hospital dash for Jahrome Hughes
'He'll probably have to go under to get it back in ... Whether he has a crack in it as well, we might not find out until Friday. We'd like to think they'll get it back in tonight. Loading 'I had both shoulders reconstructed, and the longer they're out, it's a bigger problem … the longer it's out, the more it stretches the ligaments and muscles around the joint.' Munster will return next Thursday against Parramatta, with Tyran Wishart likely to get the nod ahead of Jonah Pezet, who was due to play in the Queensland Cup, to wear the No. 7 jersey. Wishart has the superior running game, but Pezet the better boot. When asked how difficult it would be moving forward without Hughes, Bellamy said: 'I reckon it was just getting to the stage of the game where he was starting to do a bit more running. He was causing some issues for the Roosters' defence in the back end of the first half. 'Nobody wants to lose their halfback. He's a massive part of our footy team, without a doubt.' The Storm will also welcome the return of Ryan Papenhuyzen (calf) for the Eels, before a tough run of games, which features the Broncos, twice, the Panthers and Bulldogs. The Roosters scored four tries off Sam Walker's right boot, including one for Lindsay Collins, a la Origin I in Adelaide in 2023, to put the home side up 24-16 not long after Hughes had exited the game. But Grant threw a lovely ball for Josh King to score, then skipped across field and put Stefani Utoikamanu over for a four-pointer. The Roosters had plenty of chances to win the game, and should have won the game considering who the Storm were missing. They now face their own battle of making the finals. A try to Zach Dockar-Clay was contentious because James Tedesco appeared to be in front of Walker when he kicked, and continued to involve himself in the play. Referee Adam Gee was overheard telling Grant the bunker could see no sufficient evidence to support Tedesco being in an off-side position.

Hughes hurt in mega hit to Storm's premiership push
Melbourne's premiership hopes have taken a seismic hit after Jahrome Hughes dislocated his shoulder against the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium. Hughes left the field early in the second half clutching at his left shoulder, after attempting to make a tackle on James Tedesco. Storm medical staff confirmed the reigning Dally M Medallist would be sent for scans. Hughes was hurt when he reached out to stop the Roosters fullback with his outstretched left arm, before landing on it. He appeared in immediate pain. Adding salt to the visitor's wound will be the fact the play was immediately called up for an obstruction, with Melbourne awarded a penalty. The third-placed Storm have a difficult run home, including another game against the Roosters, a clash with Penrith and Canterbury to go with two matches against Brisbane. Hughes had earlier set up one of Melbourne's first-half tries, grubber-kicking for Josh King before they went to the break trailing 18-16.

Melbourne Storm's premiership hopes ‘thrown into complete chaos' after brutal Jahrome Hughes injury
Melbourne's premiership hopes have taken a seismic hit after Jahrome Hughes dislocated his shoulder against the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium. Hughes left the field early in the second half clutching at his left shoulder, after attempting to make a tackle on James Tedesco. Storm medical staff confirmed the reigning Dally M medallist would be sent for scans. Hughes was hurt when he reached out to stop the Roosters fullback with his outstretched left arm, before landing on it. He appeared in immediate pain. 'Melbourne's entire season might have been thrown into complete chaos in the past couple of minutes,' Andrew Moore said in ABC commentary. Adding salt to the visitor's wound will be the fact the play was immediately called up for an obstruction, with Melbourne awarded a penalty. The third-placed Storm have a difficult run home, including another game against the Roosters, a clash with Penrith and Canterbury to go with two matches against Brisbane.

NRL 2025 LIVE updates: Sandon Smith recalled as Roosters fight for top eight spot
Latest posts Latest posts 7.30pm King Ted for Dally M I declared it a while back, but who will deny Roosters fullback James Tedesco the Dally M? Early leader Luke Metcalf has gone down with a season-ending knee injury, while another contender, Melbourne fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen, continues to battle a calf injury. Can you think of anyone else in the race. That's right, I'll be waiting. In the press box. With no more food. Or water. 7.27pm No Victor Sydney Roosters enforcer Victor Radley told journalists at the Beer Footy and Food Festival launch at Henson Park he would be touch-and-go with his dodgy left shoulder – then he is not only not named, but ruled out the next month by coach Trent Robinson. If there is a silver lining with the extended time on the sidelines, it's the fact Radley can continue to work on his cognitive skills and 'work' his brai after a string of concussions. We asked the 'Enforcer' who had impressed him most this year at Easts, and he was quick to nominate Naufahu Whyte. Still on Henson Park, get down to the 'Ninth Wonder' on Saturday afternoon to watch the almighty Newtown Jets while enjoying good tucker and brew. 7.24pm Welcome to Allianz Howdy all. Welcome to the SMH blog. Who have we got tonight? The Roosters looked ready to steam over the top of Cronulla last week, then ran out of steam. They were out-muscled, and there were simply too many errors. The Storm lost at home against Manly, and now missing Nelson Asofa-Solomona (suspension), while Cameron Munster is in Queensland for his father's funeral on Friday. How many times do Melbourne drop two on the bounce? They need a win to keep their top-two hopes alive. The Chookies need a victory to keep their finals' dream alive.
