Jahrome Hughes, the star halfback for the Melbourne Storm, may have seen his season come to an abrupt end due to a new injury sustained shortly after his return to the field. Less than half an hour into the game, Hughes left the field while clutching his wrist, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming 2025 NRL Finals.
Reports from Fox League indicate that he may have a suspected broken wrist, which he aggravated in the opening half while clearly in discomfort. This injury follows a previous dislocated shoulder that sidelined him for over a month, specifically during a match against the Sydney Roosters.
The potential loss of the 2024 Dally M Medal winner is a significant blow for a Storm team eager to improve upon their previous performances. In the absence of Hughes, coach Craig Bellamy may look to either Tyran Wishart or Jonah Pezet, both of whom have stepped in as replacements during recent matches.
