Rabbitohs winger Taane Milne will play in the opening rounds of the NRL next season despite copping a six-game ban in his final match of 2022.
Milne was slapped with the lengthy suspension for his reckless high tackle on Panthers young gun Spencer Leniu.
Milne was sent off in the preliminary final for the ugly tackle which saw Leniu want to continue their stoush on the sideline.
