Canberra Raiders star suffers gruesome injury with prognosis confirmed….
Here’s what I found about the Canberra Raiders star’s injury:
Savelio Tamale, just 20 years old, suffered a displaced (dislocated) kneecap during the Raiders’ recent win over South Sydney. According to reporting from Love Rugby League, he’s expected to be sidelined for **”a few months”** .
Reddit users on r/nrl provided further insight, noting:
> “Displaced knee cap for anyone wondering. Roughly 2–3 months recovery according to the article.”
While that’s a significant setback, fans pointed out a few positives:
Even with a max three-month recovery, Tamale could return by the start of the finals.
The Raiders haven’t used any of their bye weeks yet, so part of that rehab period won’t impact his availability.
Player Savelio Tamale (20 years)
Injury Dislocated kneecap
Expected Recovery 2–3 months
Team Impact May miss regular season but recruited for return in finals series.
The prognosis seems clear: Tamale is likely out for several weeks, targeting a comeback ahead of finals. With the Raiders’ bye weeks factored in, this timing might work in their favor.
