In the world of Rugby League, the SuperCoach carnage continues to wreak havoc as David Fifita joins the casualty ward, making him the latest big gun to be ruled out of the final round.
It's a tough blow for the Gold Coast Titans as they aim to finish their disappointing season on a high note.
Meanwhile, over at the Melbourne Storm camp, coach Craig Bellamy is not holding back.
After resting 11 stars in the last round, he is now focused on building momentum as they head into the finals.
The Storm won't be resting players this week, determined to keep their winning streak alive.
Unfortunately, the Titans' hopes have taken a hit with the news that superstar forward Fifita won't be taking the field for their last game of the year.
He has been sent for ankle surgery, a nagging issue that has been affecting his form in recent weeks.
Despite his hefty $1 million-a-season price tag, Fifita has soldiered on with the injury, but now it's time for him to undergo a much-needed procedure.
In the game of Rugby League, injuries are a part of the game, but teams must soldier on and adapt.
As fans eagerly await the final round clash between the Titans and the Panthers in Penrith, there's no doubt that the absence of Fifita will be a major talking point.
But in the tough world of professional sport, teams must rally together and rise to the challenge, even in the face of adversity.
