Early hip-drop punishes Panthers

When it comes to Rugby League, South Sydney is currently caught in a storm that shows no signs of letting up.

The club's week from hell took a turn for the worse in a disastrous showdown with the Penrith Panthers.

Facing off against the reigning premiers just days after parting ways with head coach Jason Demetriou, the Rabbitohs were already up against it.

However, a promising start saw them race to a 12-0 lead within the first 10 minutes.

Yet, as is often the case in sport, things quickly unraveled.

A cruel blow came in the form of a fresh injury crisis, with young gun Gray potentially facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a syndesmosis injury sustained in a tackle.

The momentum shifted, and before long, South Sydney found themselves on the back foot in a downhill battle they couldn't turn around.

In the world of Rugby League, there are highs and lows, but for South Sydney, the lows seem to be stacking up.

Their clash with the Panthers was a stark reminder of the challenges they face, both on and off the field.

It's a tough slog, but the Rabbitohs will need to dig deep and regroup if they hope to bounce back from this latest setback.
