Surgery ends Titan Boyle's NRL season

Gold Coast prop Morgan Boyle has undergone shoulder surgery which has brought a premature end to his NRL season.

With the Titans out of finals contention, the 22-year-old prop went under the knife on Tuesday, having managed the injury after dislocating his shoulder in the pre-season.

"Morgan's had the shoulder concern over the last three or four weeks and it's time to get it done so he's ready for the pre-season. He's played for a lot of time with a lot of pain," Titans medical co-ordinator Craig Catterick told the club's website.
