Matty Johns hospitalized due to severe pain during Grand Final week

Matty Johns was rushed to the hospital earlier this week after experiencing severe pain in his ribs. Initially fearing a heart attack, it was later diagnosed as nerve issues related to his spine and sternum. Johns described the intense pain and muscle spasms that led to the ambulance call. He has since recovered and will continue to support the Newcastle Knights as they prepare for their Grand Final against the Sydney Roosters this Sunday.
