South Sydney have been hit with a spate of injuries to their players, leaving them reeling like a boxer in the ring.
Forward Tevita Tatola is the latest casualty, facing a devastating setback after breaking a bone in his foot during a recent match.
The metatarsal fracture occurred early on in the Rabbitohs' clash against the Sharks, forcing Tatola to undergo surgery and begin a long road to recovery.
Head of performance Andrew Croll revealed that Tatola will be sidelined for two to three months, with hopes of a comeback in round 18 of the competition.
Adding to South Sydney's woes, rising star Leon Te Hau suffered a scary collapse during training, sending shockwaves through the club.
The young gun, who has shown promise in the NSW Cup side, was reportedly feeling unwell before collapsing and being rushed to the hospital.
Fans and teammates are holding their breath for a speedy recovery for the 20-year-old, as the Rabbitohs face yet another challenge in their season.
In a sport where resilience and strength are key, South Sydney must dig deep and rally together in the face of adversity.
As the old Rugby League saying goes, it's not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up.
The Rabbitohs will need to channel their fighting spirit and overcome these obstacles to stay in the game and come out stronger on the other side.
