The St George Illawarra Dragons have provided an update on second-rower Jaydn Su’A, who sustained an ankle injury during their recent victory against the Newcastle Knights. Initially thought to be a serious injury, it has been confirmed as a low-grade syndesmosis issue in his left ankle. While syndesmosis injuries can vary in recovery time, Su’A’s condition allows for a potential return in two to four weeks, though he will miss the upcoming game against the Dolphins.
The injury is unfortunate for Su’A, who had aspirations of a State of Origin recall after participating in the first two games of last year’s series but missing the decider. The Dragons are currently aiming to maintain momentum, having won five out of their eleven games this season, including two consecutive victories, keeping them in contention for a finals spot—a significant achievement given the last time they qualified was a decade ago.
The team is set to announce its lineup for the match against the Dolphins on Tuesday afternoon. In addition to the Dolphins, Su’A is expected to be sidelined for the following game against the Cronulla Sharks, with a possible return slated for after a bye when they host the Parramatta Eels in Wollongong on June 28. The news provides a silver lining for the Dragons as they navigate the challenges of their season while looking to improve their standings in the league.
