South Sydney Rabbitohs roster and injury updates

Overview

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have faced significant roster instability due to contract negotiations and player injuries. In July, the club announced a pause on 2027 contract discussions for most players, potentially allowing several athletes to negotiate with rival NRL clubs to free up salary cap space.

During this period, star player Latrell Mitchell was sidelined with a series of injuries, including a calf strain and a nerve issue linked to a lower-back problem. The club initially stated they could not guarantee his return before the end of the season. However, by mid-August, coach Wayne Bennett indicated that Mitchell might return to action as early as the upcoming weekend against the New Zealand Warriors, potentially being eased into play from the bench.
