Canterbury Bulldogs utility back Blake Taaffe is facing time on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury sustained during a NSW Cup match against the Penrith Panthers.
Despite not having appeared in the NRL since Round 15, Taaffe has been an essential back-up this season, demonstrating his versatility in various positions.
His struggle to secure a regular spot in the NRL lineup is apparent, having joined the Bulldogs from the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Throughout the season, Taaffe has participated in over 15 NSW Cup matches and has frequently been called upon as the 18th or 19th man.
However, this recent injury will now hinder his contributions on the field for the foreseeable future.
