UPDATE: 25 FEBRUARY 2026

Two Rabbitohs players failed head injury assessments (HIAs) during Sunday’s pre-season victory over the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, with Sean Keppie and Bronson Garlick both entering the 11-day concussion protocol. Both are expected to be cleared to play in round one.

Isaiah Tass took a major step forward in his rehabilitation from his knee surgery, running for the first time on the Alter G machine, a machine that enables players to manage body weight when running. This is a huge milestone in his rehabilitation journey.

Keaon Koloamatangi also made a successful return from knee surgery in Sunday’s game, surgery which he underwent after returning from the Kangaroo Tour to the UK at the back end of last year.
