Injury Report: Round 7

Melbourne Storm’s General Manager of Football, Frank Ponissi has provided an injury update following Sunday’s win over the Warriors at AAMI Park.

Jahrome Hughes has been named for Friday’s Round 7 clash with the Dolphins in Brisbane after scans confirmed no significant damage to his shoulder.

“We expect Hughesy to play on Friday night. His scans didn’t show any structural damage or major concerns. He’ll need to get through Thursday’s training session before we make a final decision.”

Moses Leo will be sidelined for 10-12 weeks after scans confirmed a shoulder fracture.

“Moses’ scans showed some extensive damage to his shoulder. He will have surgery over the next few days and will miss 10 to 12 weeks. It’s unfortunate for Moses, he’s had a fantastic start to his rugby league career over the last two games and has worked hard for his opportunity.

Marion Seve continues to recover from his hamstring strain and will likely return over the next four weeks.

“Maz is recovering well. He has returned to running and is working hard with our rehab staff. He should return to full training over the next week or so, and available for selection over the next month of games.”

Nick Meaney (facial fracture) is expected to be available for Storm’s Magic Round fixture.

“Nick is going well. He’s back training and is doing most things. He’ll continue to progress through his recovery, returning to contact training, ahead of a potential return for Magic Round in Brisbane.”

Will Warbrick and Nelson Asofa-Solomona continue to work through the NRL’s return to play protocols for concussion.

“Will is working through his concussion protocols and remains unavailable for selection.

"NAS has progressed to running. He has missed a fair amount of footy, so he’ll continue to train and build up his fitness before making his initial return at feeder level over the next few weeks.”
