The Gold Coast Titans, who are currently at the bottom of the table, suffered a devastating injury to hooker Aaron Booth on Friday night at AAMI Park. This has made their situation even worse.
As Booth attempted to tackle Storm five-eighth Cooper Johns, his knee gave apart beneath him at right angles, causing horrifying replay vision.
When scans show the severity of the injury, Booth’s season will definitely be finished in addition to the game.

Playing in a starting position against his old team was intended to be Booth’s big night, but it ended badly for him.
When discussing the Booth injury in the news conference following the game, Titans coach Justin Holbrook broke down in tears.
“I get Boothy,” Holbrook remarked.
He’s worked incredibly hard to earn his opportunity this year, but he’s going to have a difficult time of it.
“That’s awful for him.”
In the landing, Booth dislocated his knee. Scans will provide more proof, but it is likely that he has also torn an ACL.
Holbrook remarked, “He’s done everything you could do to it.”
“Among many other things, he’s dislocated it.”
In place of Booth, Sam McIntyre came off the bench and delivered some punch from the dummy half.
