\n <\/p>\n

The South Sydney Rabbitohs’ greatest downfall in 2025 has been the lack of availability from their stars, and it seems their fortunes won’t be turning around to begin 2026.<\/p>\n

Their halfback, Jamie Humphreys<\/a>, is set to miss the opening two matches of next season, after being charged with a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact on Sydney Roosters<\/a> star Siua Wong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If he decides to challenge the charge and fails, he will be suspended<\/a> for three games, in what would be a crushing blow to the Bunnies’ 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the pitch, Roosters forward Victor Radley<\/a> was also charged, after being hit with a Grade 1 High Tackle infringement on Jack Wighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He will escape with a $1000 fine, or $1500 if he disputes the charge and is unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

\"Radley<\/p>\n

The final infringement on Friday night came from another Rabbitoh in Sean Keppie<\/a>, who was hit with a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Robert Toia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He faces the same consequences as Radley.<\/p>\n
