Faitala-Mariner to miss remainder of season

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs can confirm Raymond Faitala-Mariner will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2021 season.

The back-rower suffered an incomplete fracture of the navicular bone in his right foot earlier in the season during the club’s round two clash with the Penrith Panthers.

Faitala-Mariner required surgery at the time and was looking at 16-20 weeks on the sideline, but in consultation with the specialist, he has advised the club’s medical team that it will take the full six months to recover and therefore ending his season. 

Ray is extremely disappointed he will not be able to take part in any further games but is extremely motivated to rehabilitate his injury and looks forward to season 2022.
