Hunt and Taylor Out For Season 2007

Ergon Energy Broncos fullback Karmichael Hunt has learned today he will not play football again this year because of an on-going hamstring injury.

The news effectively rules him out of the NRL finals series and also next month's Test against New Zealand.

Hunt had scans late last week but results were not as positive as the 20-year-old international would have hoped.

"The scans look better but just not good enough to risk bringing him back," said Broncos physiotherapist Rob Godbolt.

"The injury is healing but not sufficiently enough to take part in the finals series.

"It really is going to take the off-season to fully recover and to give him the best chance of not having recurring problems next year."

Hunt said he was devastated by the news.

"I am very upset I won't be able to play again this year," said Hunt.

"I was very keen to come back as soon as possible, especially with the injury crisis the team has been going through in the second half of this season.

"But obviously the scans do not look as good as I had hoped.

"I just have to be patient and continue with my rehabilitation now to make sure I am ready to go in 2008."

In a further untimely development for the Broncos, teenage front rower David Taylor is also unavailable for the rest of the season.

Taylor broke his thumb in the match against Parramatta yesterday and required surgery this afternoon.

"He had a nasty fracture to the base of his thumb which required a screw to be put in," said Godbolt.

"Dave had the operation this afternoon but he will definitely be ready to play at the start of next year."
