This is the most challenging situation Penrith has faced during a season in which they have frequently been without players for practise.
Co-captain Isaah Yeo stated, “It’s been like this for the last four or five weeks.”
“I don’t recall the last time we had all 17 of us there due to injuries and other issues since the Origin period.
“It’s obviously not ideal but it’s something we have dealt with.”
The Rabbitohs, who defeated Manly 36–16 to advance to the grand final, have a concern regarding an injury: halfback Adam Reynolds is experiencing groin tightness.
On Friday night, Reynolds participated in the game against the Sea Eagles, but his kicking responsibilities were limited. Instead, rookie fullback Blake Taaffe was assigned to kick the goal.
