The Canberra Raiders have confirmed that winger Savelio Tamale is expected to be sidelined for up to three months following a knee injury sustained during their match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Initially, a hands-on examination ruled out an ACL injury; however, there were concerns regarding a serious ankle, leg, or knee injury due to the significant pain Tamale experienced and the nature of the tackle.
