The Sydney Roosters are facing a serious injury crisis ahead of their upcoming game against the Panthers.
Coach Trent Robinson has confirmed that Nat Butcher is unavailable after being hospitalized, while Victor Radley's playing future is uncertain following another concussion.
Robinson remains more concerned about Radley's health than the team's recent heavy loss to the Broncos.
Radley, who has now suffered six head injuries in four seasons, will be closely monitored as the club takes a conservative approach to his recovery.
Despite the setbacks, the Roosters are without several key players due to retirements, code switches, and transfers to other clubs.
Robinson emphasized the importance of prioritizing player welfare, stating, "He's concussed.
He's okay in the sheds but you don't want those things to happen."
