'Something wasn't right' - The moment 'emotional' Latrell dropped bombshell on Blues: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/ad998f05cdc2ace8b6d0afda5ec9d370

Far out man, I honestly freaked out for a couple of seconds when I saw this headline! What a relief to hear that he is okay and as far as a calf strain goes, it's about as minor as it gets. Sounds like he just has a bit of soreness there. The fact that he's a chance of playing for us this weekend tells you all you need to know.

We shouldn't risk him and I'm sure we won't but I'm just thanking God that it is nothing serious.

It's not ideal but it's probably not the worst scenario for us either. Kind of glad he's not playing Origin this week from a Red and Green point of view. Means he gets more of a rest.

Spoke to JD and several of the players this evening as I got a guest ticket to the official VIP launch of the new high performance centre at Heffron Park.
JD told me Havili is back next week and will play Reggies. Great news.
Tom said he was hoping only a few more weeks out. He seemed to be moving freely at the event. Had a great chat to him about all things footy. Champion bloke.

Great night! Got some great selfies!

So sounds like we could have Tom back against Cowboys after our bye that’s promising

'Big chance' - Latrell to answer Blues' SOS as Origin return gets green light: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/st...t/news-story/d2709b5983209a9ffd0b5fab672b27f2

Just an update on injuries from Bunnies TV interview with JD yesterday for anyone that missed it.

Tom has still been a week-to-week case but they've made the call to just leave it until after the bye to get him 100% right which is probably the right call. He'll be back against the Cowboys.

Both Liva and Davvy will be back next week and will play NSW Cup which is fantastic news! JD also said they'll play NSW the week the NRL side has the bye and then look to return to first grade against the Cowboys too. So that's awesome news!

What’s the bet Murray is out this week plays origin 2 and doesn’t back up against the Cows…..

Injury Update - Arrow and Murray: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/injury-update-arrow-and-murray

Far out that's terrible news on Jai!! Pretty shattering for him and us fans. A huge blow that's for sure.

God, we just cannot catch a break with injuries so far in 2023 it seems. It's like we always have someone of note out. I guess with Jai, the silver lining is that it's happened this time of year. 6-8 weeks sounds daunting, but it will be less games than that that he misses for us because of Origin effected games and the byes.

Rest up Jai, get well soon and get back soon. We need ya!

Good news on Cam, so glad to hear it's very minor and he's a chance to play against the Dragons. I think he'll be rested though.

I reckon this is embarrassing. Some of our blokes will probably make these type of tackles before the year is out. I think all clubs do it. I don’t think any player does it on purpose. It’s a split second decision when making a tackle and what they are doing they have probably been doing all their careers.
Yes it is dangerous and I think it has to be stamped out, but honestly we look like a pack of whingers.

Great to see Souths finally come out and stand up to the NRL when things aren't right. For too long we've just stood down and not voiced our frustrations. Great to see that change.

JD has nailed it!

I disagree sorry mate.
