Penrith will be without Brian To’o for the next six weeks after the winger sustained an ankle injury in their win over the Broncos.
To’o will be forced to undergo surgery, but is hopeful of being back for week one of the finals.
The blows couldn’t come at a worse time for the Panthers, who face the Storm on Saturday, with Isaah Yeo (concussion) and Nathan Cleary (shoulder) not expected to play.
Api Koroisau is suspended and James Fisher-Harris has returned to Sydney to be with his partner prior to the arrival of their child.
Unlucky Rooster Billy Smith will miss the rest of the season after suffering a lisfranc injury to his foot during his side’s win over the Knights last weekend.
The Roosters confirmed on Tuesday that Smith will return to Sydney for surgery and is looking at a five-month recovery period.
It’s a huge blow for the 21-year-old who has had a horror run with injuries throughout his short NRL career.
Smith was tipped to take Latrell Mitchell’s vacant spot in the centres last season before suffering an ACL injury during pre-season. He missed the entire 2020 season. Then before this season kicked off he underwent shoulder surgery.
Smith made his long-awaited return to the field via NSW Cup before getting his shot in the NRL since 2019, in Round 17.
Meanwhile, fellow outside back Matt Ikuvalu suffered a syndesmosis injury in the same game and requires surgery.
He will undergo the procedure in Brisbane and remain in the Roosters’ hub on the Sunshine Coast with the aim to return this season.
The Warriors also lost Jack Murchie and Eli Katoa to concussions, while Matt Lodge will be suspended for this week’s clash with the Tigers.
Garner suffered syndesmosis in his ankle, while Seyfarth copped an MCL injury after a cannonball tackle from Josh Aloiai.
Garner will go for further assessment. No return date has been set for either.
Shaun Johnson’s time with Cronulla could be over after the veteran halfback limped off Cbus Super Stadium on Sunday with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
Johnson ruptured his Achilles last year but had returned in good form for the Sharks, but a serious hamstring injury will end his 2021 campaign prematurely.
He’s off to the Warriors at season’s end.
The Dragons will be sweating on the availability of Cody Ramsey after the exciting winger was forced from the field in the final five minutes of his side’s loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Ramsey was involved in the lead up to the Dragons’ try in the 75th minute but was seen leaving the field after the conversion clutching at his wrist.
Coach Anthony Griffin said Ramsey was “pretty sore” after the game and confirmed he’d get scans on the injury.
Just as the Raiders started to pick up some momentum they’ve copped a huge blow with workhorse forward Ryan Sutton expected to miss one to two weeks after suffering a sternum injury in his side’s gutsy win over the Eels on Thursday.
