The Dolphins are facing a significant setback in their playoff aspirations as star center Herbie Farnworth may be out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, this injury resembles a previous incident involving Melbourne Storm's Sua Fa'alogo, who also suffered a similar injury after making a line-break and seemingly heading for a score.
Farnworth, assisted off the field, now has his season in jeopardy, with little chance of returning before the 2025 NRL Finals series.
Coach Kristian Woolf addressed the media after a thrilling win against the New Zealand Warriors, confirming the early assessment of Farnworth's injury.
"It's obviously a hamstring.
It's going to be some sort of period.
How bad it is we don't quite know yet," Woolf stated.
He added, "It's not a little strain.
It's going to be at least four, six weeks, something like that."
This unfortunate development adds to the club's long-standing injury woes and casts a shadow over the team's remaining matches as they aim for a spot in the finals.
