A horrific injury caused by a maryland warringah.

In a crucial match on Saturday night, the Rabbitohs will try to build on their comeback under acting coach Ben Hornby against the Sea Eagles, who are missing its Origin players.

In Round 15, South Sydney defeated Brisbane with what may have been their best performance of the year, winning 22–12 to extend their winning run to three games. The win keeps the Cardinals and Myrtle close to the top eight.

They must defeat a Manly team that displayed incredible bravery to defeat the Dragons 30-14 at home last Saturday if they hope to make a Cinderella run into the finals following a sluggish start to the season.

Entering the game having lost four of their previous five Due to multiple in-game injuries that forced players out of position and left no healthy players on the bench, Anthony Seibold’s team had to go deep into the game, but Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans’ masterclass once again proved to be the difference.

Manly will be without their inspirational leader this week as Cherry-Evans joins Haumole Olakau’atu and Jake Trbojevic in their respective Origin camps. Meanwhile, the Rabbitohs will be without Cameron Murray and Latrell Mitchell due to their Origin recalls. Manly needs to finish in the top eight.

Both teams have won 22 games apiece in their 44 meetings during the Premiership era, with the Rabbitohs winning seven of the last eight meetings; their lone loss occurred in the season’s opening match arlier this year in Las Vegas.

Rabbitohs: Jai Arrow is cleared to play following a rib injury, and Jye Gray returns from an ankle injury to replace Blues representative Latrell Mitchell at fullback. There are no last-minute alterations; Dion Teaupa is the new player.

Sea Eagles: Gordon is seen in a late shuffle. Jaxson Paulo replaces Chan Kum Tong in the starting lineup at center, Aaron Schoupp returns to the back row, Corey Waddell takes over as prop, and Ethan Bullemor returns to the interchange. Toafofoa Sipley, who battled a knee issue over the week, is cleared to play. Luke Brooks and Nathan Brown are the team’s captains.
