Ravalawa expected to recover from defensive mistake

Mikaele Ravalawa, South Sydney Rabbitohs’ new recruit, faced criticism after a defensive mistake in his recent game against the Cronulla Sharks. He only joined South Sydney from St George Illawarra last week and was a late addition to the game after one training session. During the match, Ravalawa struggled defensively, allowing Sharks player Braydon Trindall to score. This moment reminded fans of a similar mistake made by Lachie Miller in a past game. After the Rabbitohs' 27-12 loss, replays of Ravalawa's error circulated on social media. Despite the mistake, his teammates continue to support him. Player Davvy Moale mentioned that the error was due to miscommunication. Moale added that Ravalawa has experience and knows how to improve. Fellow teammate Tallis Duncan pointed out that adjusting to a new team takes time. The Rabbitohs are preparing for a challenging match against the Penrith Panthers, featuring star winger Brian To'o. Ravalawa is expected to step up, along with other players, as they work on their performance. Other Rabbitohs players, like Campbell Graham and Latrell Mitchell, are also managing injuries but are expected to return soon.
