Corey Allan made an emotional return to the NRL after a 596-day hiatus due to an ACL injury, debuting for the Dragons at Magic Round.
Despite having played in Round 1 of the NSW Cup earlier, running onto the field at Suncorp Stadium to face the Wests Tigers marked a significant and personal milestone for Allan.
The occasion was particularly special as he was surrounded by family and friends, adding to the magic of the event.
Allan's comeback journey has been a long one, filled with challenges, but this moment represented a triumphant return to the game he loves.
