In a rough twist of fate, it appears that the Parramatta Eels will have to soldier on without their star player, Mitchell Moses, for the foreseeable future.
The news of his left foot fracture has sent shockwaves through the rugby league community, leaving the Eels with a significant void to fill.
Following their hard-fought victory over the Manly Sea Eagles, the Eels now face a challenging period without their key playmaker.
The club has confirmed that Moses will need surgery and could be sidelined for up to 8 weeks, or potentially even longer according to reports from The Daily Telegraph.
It seems that Moses picked up the injury during the intense final moments of the game against the Sea Eagles.
With immediate surgery required, the Eels will need to rally together and find a way to overcome this setback on their journey towards the finals.
As they say in the world of rugby league, it's not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
The Eels will no doubt be looking to dig deep and show their true fighting spirit in the absence of Moses as they push forward in the season.
