Welcome to the NRL Infirmary! Every week here at the Huddle we’ll be bringing you a summary of all the major NRL injury news.

This is the place to find out who’s injured, what they’ve injured and for how long they’ve injured it for.

There’s already been a few pre-season casualties, as well as lingering injuries from last year. That means there’s plenty of notable absentees ahead of Round 1.

To find out who will be missing for the start of the new season, check out all our NRL injury news below.
