Sydney Roosters recruit Blake Ferguson will miss up to four months on the sidelines with the club confirming today that the star centre would undergo surgery after suffering ligament damage in the Roosters’ win over Canberra on Sunday.

Ferguson will have the surgery tomorrow ruling him out of representative football and a major chunk of the NRL season.

The former State of Origin back addressed the media outside Roosters HQ in a moon boot, promising to stay out of the headlines and out of trouble.
