Overview

• Scans confirmed the injury that ends the 23-year-old winger’s season with a projected recovery of at least three months.
• He was hurt during the golden-point win over Penrith in Mudgee and remained on the field for more than 15 minutes before being replaced.
• Savage has been Canberra’s leading finisher this year with a team-best 12 tries and nine linebreaks.
• Coach Ricky Stuart is expected to consider Savelio Tamale, who has been recovering from a knee issue, as a possible wing replacement, with Jed Stuart likely to keep the opposite flank.
• Canberra stays in contention for the minor premiership, but the loss is a significant blow to its late-season push.
