Jordan Rapana’s Horror Blow Shocks NRL — Raiders Star Suffers Devastating Setback!
Canberra Raiders star Jordan Rapana has suffered a devastating injury blow that could sideline him for the remainder of the NRL season. The veteran fullback, known for his explosive runs and fearless style, sustained a serious knee injury during training earlier this week. Initial scans have confirmed significant ligament damage, with fears of an ACL tear that may require season-ending surgery.
The news comes as a massive setback for the Raiders, who have relied heavily on Rapana’s experience and energy at the back. At 34, the New Zealand international was enjoying a strong season, contributing consistently in both attack and defense.
Coach Ricky Stuart expressed his heartbreak over the injury, stating: “It’s a cruel blow for a bloke who gives everything to this club. He’s a leader and one of the toughest competitors I’ve ever coached.”
Rapana’s absence will leave a gaping hole in Canberra’s backline as the team pushes for a finals berth. The club is now expected to explore options within their depth chart or even the transfer market to cover the loss. Fans across the league have flooded social media with support for Rapana, hoping for a full and speedy recovery.
