Manly Sea Eagles backrower Andrew Davey's season looks all but over after injuring his ACL in the opening minutes of his side's 26-12 loss against South Sydney.
After just four minutes of game time, Davey had to be helped from the field after falling awkwardly in a twisting tackle at Brookvale Oval.
Coach Des Hasler confirmed after the match that Davey's season was likely done for this year.
"It's not going to get any easier, particularly with some of the injuries we've picked up," Hasler said.
"Andrew Davey, very likely an ACL, so that's his season finished.
"He had some really good goals, I thought what he provided last week was a real spark, he's so competitive as well, so we're going to miss that."
It was Davey's first start of the season, due to teammate Curtis Sironen also suffering a knee injury and being ruled out for four to six weeks.
"He's injured here, he's done something bad," NRL great Braith Anasta said at the time of injury.
"I think he's done his knee here."
