NRL Injury Crisis: Haas Out, Trbojevic Hamstrung Again
20 Apr
Summary
- Dragons interim coach faces selection pressure after 0-7 start.
- Payne Haas out for Broncos; Tom Trbojevic suffers another hamstring injury.
- Several NRL stars are sidelined with injuries and suspensions this week.
The St. George Illawarra Dragons are under immense pressure following an 0-7 start to the season, with their interim coach facing significant selection decisions. Speculation surrounds potential changes to the lineup, including a high-profile player whose spot might be jeopardized.
The Bulldogs are poised to receive a significant boost with player returns, a welcome sight after a recent unexpected loss. Conversely, the Broncos face a considerable void in their forward pack due to the absence of Payne Haas, prompting questions about who will step up.
In other team news, Manly's Tom Trbojevic has sustained another hamstring injury, expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks, a familiar blow for the star fullback. The Raiders will likely be without veteran Josh Papalii due to a calf injury, and Hudson Young's suspension will impact their lineup.
Several teams are contending with injuries and suspensions, leading to anticipated team reshuffles. This includes the Dragons, where Jaydn Su'A faces a three-week suspension, and the possibility of Valentine Holmes being dropped due to form concerns. The Knights' Greg Marzhew is also in doubt with a head knock.
