2023 Rabbitohs Injuries and Suspensions

[Rabbits20]

Junior in a knee brace talk it’s him MCL and he’s facing 3-6 weeks out. Shaq foot/ankle talk around he’s out 6 weeks.

We can’t take a trick.

So we could be without Arrow, Tatola, Sele, Havili, Shaq, Knight next week great just about all our props Keaon would have to play middle. Bench would look light……

Tom
Cook
Moale
Keaon
Chee Kam
Murray

Host
DSF
Jed
Duncan (needs an exemption)

JD said at the presser last night he does not wanna risk Arrow if he’s not quite right. We have no props left Keaon will have to play some middle.

Where have you heard these timelines? Just rumors at the moment? Hope that info in incorrect.

I did see Tatola in a knee brace on Instagram though.

Really not good, we can't catch any luck with injures at the moment and it's really hurting us. Get one back and one gets injured it seems. Not good at all.

Rabbitohs forward suffers foot injury

The Rabbitohs' injury woes have continued with Shaquai Mitchell joining Hame Sele on the sidelines with a foot injury.

Mitchell, who played 24 minutes last night against the Roosters, was seen leaving on crutches after the game.

Mitchell will join Hame Sele on the sidelines after he failed his HIA test. Sele left the field in the opening minute after injuring himself while attempting to make a tackle on Victor Radley.

"He's got a foot injury," Souths coach Jason Demetriou said after the game.

"Patching up middles at the moment. We can't get two back, we lose two. But it is what it is."

However, it is not all bad news for Rabbitohs fans with Jason Demetriou issuing an updated timeline for Jai Arrow and Jacob Host.

Host has been recovering from a calf strain but will be available for selection next week. The second rower has been with the team since 2021 and has made a total of 29 appearances in the red and green.

On the other hand, Arrow could still be in doubt for next week, however, Demetriou and the Rabbitohs' coaching staff will continually check on him during the week.

"We're gonna check on Jai (Arrow) early in the week but I'm not going to rush him. Jacob Host will come back, so it gives us a bit of flexibility there."

"Daniel Suluka-Fifita will play next week. He'll be available for first grade as well. So, we've got some depth still there to work with."

I'd like to give this a thumbs down, not because of you, but because of the news update - it's shit bad news

 

[callmack1]

We really are having rotten luck aren't we??

Tatola gone for a couple, I'd say Shaq gone for AT LEAST four weeks, Hame this week, and now Jai has re-injured his hammy and is going to be out for another month???!! My god, that's just rotten luck. Please lord, some good luck would be nice for a change.

It is concerning that's for sure. Take that many quality middles out of any team and they'll find it a lot harder.

However, we can do it, we can get by. A real next man up mentality and a chance for some lesser known guys to show us what they've got. I have faith in them!

Time for our spine to really stand up and lead the way too.

Souths blame Radley hip-drop tackle for eight-week Mitchell injury: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/so...ght-week-mitchell-injury-20230320-p5ctms.html

No doubt it's a hip drop. This is just complete BS!! How was Radley not charged? How did he get off it? We're now without one of our best forwards so far this year because of it.

Also, the news about Junior has been confirmed. Huge blow, not good at all. From Zero Tackle,

Rabbitohs injury woes worsen with another forward out

The South Sydney Rabbitohs injury crisis has worsened with prop forward Junior Tatola set to miss the next three to four weeks with an MCL knee injury.

Tatola is the latest blow to the Rabbitohs forwards stock and will join Hame Sele, Liam Knight, Shaquai Mitchell, Siliva Havili and Jai Arrow on the sidelines.

Reported by The Daily Telegraph, Tatola suffered an MCL knee injury against the Roosters last Friday night. This will make him unavailable to face the Manly Sea Eagles in a huge clash this weekend.

The injury will also see him miss the next three to four weeks. This means he is more than likely to miss future games against the Storm, Bulldogs, Dolphins and Panthers.

Voted the club's best player last season, Tatola returned last week after enduring a concussion within the first minute in their Round 1 match against the Cronulla Sharks.

With six starting forward unavailable for selection, coach Jason Demetriou is likely to bring in Jacob Host and Daniel Suluka-Fifita into the final 17.

I actually disagree with this one. He wasn’t trying to drag him to the ground in a traditional hip drop.

It's horrific.
I'll be glad when move off Knight.
Geez, how bad is that injury to Havili's calf? He's been out since the playoffs LAST SEASON......
Sele is an accident waiting to happen.
Our recruitment needs to start focusing on middle forwards. Big ones.
IF they are available.....

Liva hasn't been out since last year, he injured it just before the trials.

And I believe it's an ankle injury, not a calf so that explains the long layoff.

Check what I said brother, I am talking about Havili and his calf

Check what I said brother, I am talking about Havili and his calf

Havili torn a tendon in his ankle early Feb.
I heard JD say multiple times over the weekend that arrow is a chance of playing next week. Would be good to get him back too.
