That is according to Code Sports, who report Latrell Mitchell suffered a quad injury at training on Thursday in what was his first day back after having a few days off.

The NSW Origin star is absent for Souths’ clash with the Panthers and isn’t expected to return until Round 24 the earliest.

And with the Rabbitohs’ finals hopes all but dashed, coach Wayne Bennett just put a line through Mitchell for the remainder of the season.

Dylan Brown is still in the mix, according to Jason Ryles.

For the Red V, Valentine Holmes is set to go under the knife on a shoulder injury which will see him sidelined for six months.

Elsewhere, Broncos young gun Blake Mozer is reportedly set to go under the knife on a shoulder injury, while also battling with a broken jaw suffered last weekend.

According to Code Sports, the young gun will now eye a return in 2026, with his season over after battling with his shoulder problem throughout his 2025 campaign.

Mozer is seen as one of the club’s best up-and-coming talents, being handed an extension through to the end of the 2027 season despite not featuring in the NRL this year.

Meanwhile, the Eels are set to welcome back their marquee man Mitch Moses next week.

Coach Jason Ryles discussed Dylan Brown, who wasn’t named in the 17 this week.

But despite this, Ryles doesn’t believe the five-eighth has played his final game for the club before he departs for the Knights at season’s end.

“No, he hasn’t, I don’t think, but I don’t have a crystal ball,” Ryles said.

“The option to use him again is certainly there … one thing’s clear, he won’t be playing Cup. He’ll either be with us (in the NRL) or with no one.”

While former Panthers player Mark Geyer said on 2GB earlier in the week the Eels had “put their cue in the rack” by demoting Brown, Ryles dismissed that kind of talk on Friday.

“That’s not true at all,” he said. “Every time we go to training, we look to get better, and every time we go to play the game, we’re competing hard every single play.”

Regarding the team’s other star half Ryles confirmed that Moses will be named for Parramatta’s Round 21 clash against the Broncos next week.

Moses has been sidelined with a syndesmosis injury and has only played in six NRL games this seaso
