The Rabbitohs have been struck by yet another blow in their backline, with winger Alex Johnston facing up to six weeks on the sidelines due to a torn hamstring.
The injury, suffered during the Good Friday showdown against the Bulldogs, was initially hoped to only be a minor setback.
However, scans have revealed a more serious prognosis, leaving the Rabbitohs without one of their key attacking weapons.
This injury is just the latest hurdle in what has been a challenging start to the season for the Rabbitohs.
After a disappointing run of losses, they managed to scrape a narrow win against the Bulldogs last week.
The road ahead doesn't get any easier though, with tough matches lined up against the Warriors, Sharks, Storm, and Panthers in the coming weeks.
Coach Jason Demetriou will undoubtedly be feeling the pressure as his team looks to turn their season around.
But as they say in the world of Rugby League, it's not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up.
The Rabbitohs will need to dig deep and show their fighting spirit in the upcoming games, as they aim to climb up the ladder and make their mark in the competition.
