Surgery for Titans prop

MORGAN Boyle’s NRL season is over after the hulking Gold Coast prop went in for surgery on his troublesome shoulder yesterday.

Coming off a promising rookie year in 2017, Boyle has been on the back foot in his follow-up campaign ever since he was involved in a heavy training collision with teammate Jarrod Wallace in February.

There were fears the 22year-old’s season would be over before it began but he has been able to manage seven Titans appearances. However, he has only played one game in the past three months.

Boyle was forced from the field after halftime while playing for feeder club Burleigh in their Intrust Super Cup match against Papua New Guinea on Sunday in Port Moresby.

Titans development player Dallas Wells suffered a seasonending pectoral injury in the same match.
