The South Sydney Rabbitohs will be closely monitoring the availability of three players over the weekend as they suffered hamstring injuries on Friday night and had to leave the game.
The win for the Rabbitohs was bittersweet as they lost their five-eighth afterwards. Cody Walker , halfback Jamie Humphreys and winger Mikaele Ravalawa due to injuries - this group might miss next week's game against the North Queensland Cowboys .
According to NRL Physio , should scans reveal a slight strain, they might miss up to four weeks of play, which would dealt a significant setback to Wayne Bennett who has just received Latrell Mitchell back.
Should all three be eliminated for at least Round 6, Jayden Sullivan would shift to the interchange bench from the five-eighth position, whilst Super League recruit Lewis Dodd , which he would make his own NRL In her first-year initiation, she would take over the No. 7 jersey from Humphreys.
Fletcher Myers is clearly the substitute for Ravalwava; nonetheless, Tyrone Munro or Alex Johnston could potentially be ready to play.
"Just a slight stiffness," Walker mentioned following the game.
I’m uncertain about the severity; I’ll have a scan done in the coming few days. It feels relatively mild to me.

The Rabbitohs threesome wasn't the sole group of players to suffer injuries on Friday night, with Sydney Roosters front-rower Lindsay Collins maintaining support for a possible MCL tear.
In the previous game, the troubles at the Penrith Panthers Could go on after dropping four successive matches with the hooker Mitch Kenny (shoulder) set to undergo scans and Jack Cole (concussion) ruled out of next week's match due to the NRL 's mandatory 11-day stand-down policy.
His absence will see Blaize Talagi accompany Nathan Cleary in the halves, while Luke Sommerton will be the back-up to Kenny if he does spend time on the sidelines.
