The South Sydney Rabbitohs' horror 2023 campaign has plunged to new depths with confirmation of another crushing blow to their playing roster.
In what can only be described as a cruel twist of fate, the struggling NRL club has lost one of its most important players to a season-ending injury, compounding what has already been a year to forget for the proud foundation club.
Injury Curse Strikes Again
The latest setback comes at a time when the Rabbitohs were desperately searching for some positive news to lift spirits around Redfern. Instead, medical scans have confirmed their worst fears - a key contributor will play no further part in their faltering premiership campaign.
This devastating injury continues what has become an alarming trend for Souths this season, with several first-choice players already spending significant time on the sidelines through various fitness issues.
Season from Hell Continues
The Rabbitohs' 2023 season has been plagued by misfortune from the outset, with poor form, internal dramas and now this fresh injury setback combining to create what fans are calling their most disappointing campaign in recent memory.
Club officials are putting on a brave face, but there's no disguising the fact this latest development has effectively ended any faint hopes of salvaging something from their disastrous year.
With finals football now mathematically impossible, the focus will turn to blooding young talent and planning for 2024, though that will be cold comfort for long-suffering members who expected so much more this season.
