Mikaele Ravalawa, the new addition to the South Sydney Rabbitohs from the Fiji Bati, has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the team’s recent victory against the Sydney Roosters. In the round five match, which ended 20-14 in favor of the Rabbitohs, Ravalawa was injured late in the game, joining fellow teammates Cody Walker and Jamie Humphreys on the list of injury setbacks for the club.
Ravalawa’s injury is particularly disappointing as he had recently joined the Rabbitohs, bringing to the team his impressive performance record, which includes 67 tries in 98 matches during his tenure with the St. George Illawarra Dragons. He is expected to be out until round 13 of the National Rugby League, where fans hope to see him make a strong comeback.
In a related note, Fijian player Jacob Saifiti incurred a calf injury while warming up before a match against the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, further highlighting the growing challenges teams face with player injuries early in the season. Saifiti’s recovery timeline has yet to be determined.
Despite these injuries, there remains a positive outlook for the Rabbitohs. The addition of skilled players like Ravalawa has generated excitement among fans, and his return to the field is highly anticipated as the team strives to maintain its competitive edge in the league. The resilience shown by both the players and the Rabbitohs coaching staff emphasizes a commitment to overcoming adversity and keeping spirits high during difficult times.
