Hame Sele facing season-ending heart condition setback
The enigma surrounding St George Illawarra Dragons' forward Hame Sele's hospital stay deepens, as reports suggest he may be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a serious heart condition.
Sele was rushed to the hospital on Saturday evening during the Dragons' disappointing loss to the Canterbury Bulldogs at a packed Kogarah.
It was initially reported that Sele was dealing with an 'irregular heartbeat' and breathing difficulties.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Sele reassured fans that his hospitalization was purely precautionary.
However, new reports from News Corp indicate that Sele has been diagnosed with pericardial effusion.
This setback comes at a crucial time for the Dragons, who are looking to regroup and push through the rest of the season with determination.
Sele's absence will definitely be felt on the field, as he has been a valuable asset to the team throughout the year.
The Dragons will have to rally together and find the strength to persevere without one of their key players.
But as they say in Rugby League, adversity only makes you stronger, and the team will need to dig deep and show their resilience in the face of this challenge.
