Roosters player Brandon Smith heartbroken after season-ending injury, possibly affecting team's season as well.
Nobody was more heartbroken on Sunday night than Brandon Smith.
When the Roosters hooker was helped from the field with a knee injury in the first half against Canberra after an alleged hip-drop tackle from Elliott Whitehead, he didn't look like a player whose season was over.
He wasn't in tears like his halfback, Sam Walker, who had broken down earlier in the match after hearing a pop: the dreaded noise that indicates a blown anterior cruciate ligament.
Smith's tears came later that evening, when scans confirmed he'd suffered the same injury. It hasn't just ended his season, but possibly that of the Roosters, too.
