The Brisbane Broncos have been dealt a cruel blow with centre Kotoni Staggs<\/a> likely to miss the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Despite a starring performance last night during the Broncos' win against the Cowboys<\/a>, in which he scored two tries and notched two line-breaks, Staggs re-injured the same knee that kept him out for nearly 12 months.<\/p>\n

Playing in his fourth game back following an ACL injury<\/a>, Staggs this time around suffered an MCL injury, which the club revealed is likely to end his season with five games remaining.<\/p>\n

"Kotoni has a high-grade MCL injury after suffering an impact to the knee in a tackle in the second half, and he is unlikely to return to play for the remainder of the season," head of performance Dave Ballard said.<\/p>\n

\"Kotoni<\/p>\n

"It's the same knee that he injured last year but it's important to be clear that his ACL is fine and the injury is localised to his MCL.<\/p>\n

"We expect it to be a straight-forward recovery over coming weeks and Kotoni is keen to get into his rehab as soon as he can."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the club is hopeful Jake Turpin can return before the seasons' end despite suffering a high ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

"Jake picked up a high ankle sprain which will mean a few weeks of rehab but he is a chance to play again this season," Ballard said.<\/p>\n
