Titans young gun Treymain Spry is lucky to be alive after being allegedly king-hit in a vicious street assault that has left his NRL playing career in jeopardy.

News Corp can reveal Spry suffered a fractured skull, a broken eye socket and bleeding on the brain after being the victim of a sickening attack in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley entertainment precinct.

The Titans are aware of the incident, which occurred a fortnight ago on the eve of the 2022 NRL premiership, and have reported Spry’s attack to the NRL integrity unit.

The 22-year-old Spry was hoping for a breakthrough NRL campaign this season after he scored two tries for the Titans in their 26-all trial draw with the Broncos last month.

But just two weeks after his eye-catching display, Spry was left fighting for his life after a night out with his new girlfriend ended in the Queensland under-20s winger being brutally bashed by a man who now dates the Titan’s ex-partner.

Queensland police have cleared Spry of any wrongdoing. His assailant, a Brisbane rugby player, has been charged with grievous bodily harm.

Sources have told News Corp Spry was walking through the Valley nightclub precinct with his partner when he crossed paths with his ex-girlfriend, triggering a heated verbal exchange between the pair.

It is alleged Spry’s assailant king-hit the Titans rookie in a bloody attack that saw the Gold Coast flyer rushed to a Brisbane hospital with serious head and facial injuries.

The attacker is due to appear in a Brisbane court in May.

Spry is recovering at home and is said to be in a stable condition.

However, his immediate playing future remains in doubt, with Titans medicos to put Spry through a battery of tests before he is permitted to return to the field.

Rated one of the club’s most gifted players, Spry has had a chequered start to his NRL career. He made his Titans debut in 2020, playing five games, but was briefly released by the club last year on compassionate grounds.

It is believed Spry sought a break from the game to sort out some personal issues, but he returned to the Titans in pre-season in a bid to resurrect his NRL career.

The 187cm, 98kg Spry impressed in the trials for the Titans, outperforming Broncos sensation Selwyn Cobbo in their derby trial at Robina, but the Ipswich product’s NRL future is now in limbo.
