The South Sydney Rabbitohs are facing a significant setback as Campbell Graham is sidelined due to injury for their upcoming match against the Wests Tigers.
Since last Friday's defeat to the Sydney Roosters, Graham has been coping with a shoulder injury, and unfortunately, he hasn't made sufficient progress to take the field this Saturday night.
While the team hopes he can return for the Good Friday match against Canterbury following their bye next week, Moala Graham-Taufa is confirmed to take his position in the lineup for the Gosford game.
In addition to Graham's injury, the Rabbitohs are also losing Euan Aitken, who is struggling with a cork injury that has rendered him unable to participate.
Graham's injury woes have been ongoing; he faced a significant injury in the first round of 2023 and continued to battle through discomfort during that season.
After missing the entirety of 2024 due to pre-season surgery, a calf issue last year ultimately resulted in a back operation.
Just earlier this week, Graham expressed optimism that he was on the path to recovery, noting that his body felt good aside from typical soreness after games.
