He’s been dropped from New South Wales’ State of Origin side, and now Dylan Walker’s NRL season has just got even worse, with the Manly centre out of pocket and out of rugby league for a month after inflicting an injury on himself by hitting a door.
The Sea Eagles released a statement on Monday morning, saying the injury occurred when Walker and his partner were coming home partner from a night out with a number of teammates on Saturday. All players at the club were given the weekend off to enjoy the bye.
According to the statement, Walker lashed out at his front door “with frustration and stupidity” after being unable to open it.
Manly has now issued Walker with a breach notice and fined him $10,000 for his actions.
Walker and his partner immediately drove to St Vincent’s hospital, where his hand was x-rayed. He will undergo further scans on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury.
The incident has been reported to the NRL’s Integrity Unit.
