Dragons centre Tyrell Fuimaono looks set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after he was sent off for a high shot on Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen.<\/p>\n
Papenhuyzen's return after three weeks out with a shoulder injury couldn't have gone any worse after he was stretchered off the field following Fuimaono's hit.<\/p>\n
Early in the first half, Fuimaono came in late on the Storm fullback, who had flicked the ball across to teammate Josh Addo-Carr for the Storm's opening try.<\/p>\n
The match was stopped for several minutes as trainers rushed in to help Papenhuyzen who was unable to get up off the ground.<\/p>\n

Rugby league great Phil Gould said Fuimaono's decision to come in late was "incomprehensible" following the NRL's hard stance this weekend on high shots<\/a>.<\/p>\n "Ryan Papenhuyzen lets go and Tyrell Fuimaono comes in over the top and collects him," Gould told Nine.<\/p>\n "Papenhuyzen hasn't moved, he's on the ground. This is not a good look.<\/p>\n "The Storm could well lose their most dynamic attacking player.<\/p>\n "You'd think they would've seen enough football over the weekend to know.<\/p>\n "It is incomprehensible to think a player would come up with a hit like that at this stage of the weekend after everything we've seen. On any weekend that was a send-off."<\/p>\n Once Papenhuyzen was taken off the field, referee Peter Gough immediately issued marching orders to Fuimaono, who will likely face scrutiny from the match review committee.<\/p>\n The Dragons were forced to briefly play with 11 men after forward Josh McGuire was sent to the sin bin just minutes earlier.<\/p>\n Nine's sideline reporter Danika Mason confirmed shortly after the incident that Papenhuyzen suffered a concussion and avoided a trip to the hospital.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"No](\"https:\/\/vms-network-images-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/358575\/pickerImage.jpg\")
