Jake Duke just confirmed it’s a compound fracture.

Bloody hell, can only imagine how Pap is feeling right now after all the work he did to get back into the game.

Is that the same injury that ended that Brisbane winger's career a few years ago? Yowyay or whatever his name was.

Oh boy, it’s a shocker.

Wishing this man nothing but the best, but it unfortunately might be the end of Paps. Even just from a mental perspective, it would have taken a resilient bloke to come back from that shattered knee and now facing doing that all again from a compound fracture.

As bad as it is for him personally, I’m not sure it affects their team much. They player all season long without him. He would have been a nice add if he got back to form, but wasn’t there yet.

Have they said about the HIAs? Surely Seve was Cat 1

Yow Yeh, yeah, not a guaranteed injury you can’t come back from but it’s a complex structure with full weight bearing so definitely can be a career ender. That tank of a tigers winger Taniela got done by it too form memory.

Will depend how many parts of the ankle are damaged and to what extent

Yow Yeh was leg / shin wasn’t it?

Was Tuiaki a compound? Definitely a horrible ankle injury. Possibly the catalyst to get hip drops out of the game.

Meaney looked completely out of his depth tonight, if Pap didn’t get injured I could have seen him getting dropped.

Meaney’s either going to come out with a point to prove next week, or his confidence will be shot and error may sneak in.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is the end of R.Paps career
No, not really.
I snapped my Tib/fib (compound fracture) and was able to get back.
Admittedly it took nearly 9 months but that is without the constant medical, physio support that Paps will get.
He can come back from this. Might only be a couple of months and he might be running again depending on how they treat him (cast v surgery).
