The rugby league world will hold its collective breath when Storm star Ryan Papenhuyzen makes his return from a shattered patella this weekend after more than 12 months out of the game.
And while everyone has followed his journey closely, few know the trauma quite like Roosters skipper James Tedesco, who suffered a similar injury nine years ago while also playing against the Raiders.
Tedesco fractured his kneecap after colliding with Terry Campese just 15 seconds into the game, with the injury ending his season two years after his debut was ruined by a devastating ACL tear.
Papenhuyzen's injury was worse and has kept him sidelined for more than a year, but he'll ease his way back via the Queensland Cup in a bid to return to the NRL in time for the finals.
