Why Melbourne Storm player Marion Seve has been forced to wear goggles on the field
Fans will see a new sight on Thursday night with Melbourne Storm star Marion Seve set to become the first player to wear goggles during a NRL game. Seve suffered a serious eye injury playing for Melbourne Storm's feeder team, North Sydney, back in June. Unfortunately for Seve, a boot stud to the eye prompted worrying scenes with the star rushed into emergency surgery. The accident caused a cut and bleeding towards the back of the eye with concerns over his retina. Surgery was a success, but Seve was told he could lose his eyesight if he was to cop another blow. Seve was determined to keep playing footy and trained for a number of months with goggles on. And the centre made a return on the weekend in NSW Cup after a long recovery from surgery. The 30-year-old scored three tries for North Sydney in his NSW Cup having worn special protective goggles. And coach Craig Bellamy has rewarded Seve's hard work with a call-up for the Storm team in the NRL grand final rematch against the Panthers on Thursday night. Ryan Papenhuyzen's injury at fullback has seen Nick Meaney shift into the No.1 jersey. And Seve has been called up into the centres for the vital clash. Seve will be sporting his new eyewear and will become the first player in the NRL to wear goggles during a game. Coach Bellamy was thrilled to have given Seve a recall who has not played in first grade since the round four defeat to the Dragons. "Even throughout my time in footy, I don't think I've seen someone more unlucky than Marion with the the time when he gets the injuries," Bellamy said ahead of the Panthers clash. "He is one hell of a fighter, one hell of a competitor. It's good to see him back. And it's going to be a tough job for him against the Panthers." Marion Seve returned to the field this past weekend after recovering from a significant eye injury, and he did so with the assistance of protective eyewear!Goggles like this have been approved in league/union for a few years now but this is the first case I can think of at a… — NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) August 4, 2025 Marion Seve hesitant after eye surgery Speaking to , Seve claimed he was hesitant about wearing the goggles and how it would be perceived. But he has been welcomed back by his teammates in his return to the game. 'Dr Matthews and the club highly recommended that I wear the goggles, which I wasn't too keen on because I'd cop some from the boys and I would look weird on the field. Dr Matthews told me similar athletes in different sports have worn goggles for protection," he told the publication. 'But 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." View this post on Instagram A post shared by North Sydney Bears (@northsydneybearsofficial) Seve claimed his vision is still slightly blurry, but he feels fortunate he is back playing footy at the highest level. The 30-year-old is off contract next year and will be keen to show he still has plenty of NRL footy left in him against the Panthers. In contact sport, Seve isn't the only one to wear goggles in recent years. Mason Cox wears goggles playing for Collingwood in the AFL, while New Zealand All Blacks star Ardie Savea has also worn protective goggles in rugby union.
