South Sydney will be without halfback Adam Reynolds indefinitely, after he was diagnosed with a back fracture he suffered against the Eels.
Reynolds ran out the game and played all 80 minutes in his side's 26-14 loss to Parramatta last week, but coach Wayne Bennett has confirmed he'll be sidelined following the injury.
Bennett was coy on how long Reynolds' recovery would be, suggesting he would be available for selection whenever the pain goes away.
However, according to NRL.com reporter Zac Bailey, Bennett hoped his recovery period would just be a few weeks, rather than months.

Great player but a serial crock like Brad Clyde.
