knights youngster suffers another devastating acl injury

newcastle knights fans were dealt a heartbreaking blow this week as rising star ethan palmer suffered yet another anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury during a pre-season training session. the 20-year-old forward, widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in the club’s system, now faces an extended period on the sidelines for the second time in just over a year.

palmer, who made his nrl debut last season, was reportedly in fine form leading into the 2025 season and had been tipped to play a key role in the knights’ forward pack. however, his hopes were dashed after he went down clutching his knee during a routine drill. scans later confirmed a complete tear of his acl in his right knee, the same knee he injured in 2023.

club’s reaction and support

knights head coach adam o’brien expressed his devastation for palmer, emphasizing the club’s commitment to supporting him through his recovery.

“ethan has been incredibly resilient and worked so hard to come back stronger after his first acl injury,” o’brien said. “he’s a tough young man with a bright future, and we’ll make sure he has all the support he needs to get through this challenging time.”

palmer’s teammates have also rallied around him, with captain kalyn ponga describing the news as “shattering” for the young forward.

“he’s one of the hardest workers in the team and a great bloke off the field,” ponga said. “we’ll all be there for him every step of the way.”

a promising career on hold

a product of the knights’ junior system, palmer has been earmarked as a future cornerstone of the club’s forward pack. his impressive performances in the junior grades and nsw cup earned him a contract extension last year, highlighting the club’s faith in his abilities.

unfortunately, back-to-back acl injuries pose significant challenges for any athlete. the physical and mental toll of such setbacks can be immense, but many within the nrl community have expressed confidence in palmer’s ability to bounce back.

former knights star danny buderus offered words of encouragement, noting that modern sports medicine and rehabilitation programs have made it possible for players to return stronger than ever.

“acl injuries are tough, but ethan’s got the right mindset and support system to overcome this,” buderus said. “there’s no doubt he’ll be back.”

knights’ depth to be tested

with palmer sidelined, the knights will need to rely on their depth in the forward pack to fill the void. emerging players such as liam henderson and zac ferguson are expected to step up, while the club may also explore short-term options in the player market.

meanwhile, fans and analysts alike have pointed to the importance of managing palmer’s recovery carefully to ensure he can fulfill his potential in the years to come.

looking ahead

ethan palmer’s latest setback is a harsh reminder of the physical demands and risks associated with professional rugby league. while his immediate future involves surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process, the knights’ young star has already shown he possesses the determination and character to overcome adversity.

for now, the rugby league community will watch closely, hoping to see palmer make a triumphant return to the field and continue his journey as one of the game’s brightest prospects.
