Dragons second rower Jaydn Su’A has learnt the extent of the shoulder injury he suffered last Sunday, with the club revealing he’ll miss the next three to four weeks.
Su’A suffered the injury in the 75th minute of the Round 7 loss against the Raiders, landing awkwardly on his shoulder.
Su’A was putting together a season-best performance against the Raiders, recording 101 running metres and four tackle busts before leaving the ground.

Dragons head physio Davis Theobold spoke in a team press conference on Thursday morning, stating the club are “pretty confident that he (Su’A) will avoid surgery.”
“He subluxed the joint. It’s essentially a small dislocation which comes back in itself,” Theobold said.
“He is quite fortunate to not sustain a significant joint injury in the process.
“We are looking at that three to four-week range. His stability is pretty good so it will just come down to his strength and function so we will just build that up and he’ll be good to go.”
After being demoted to reserve grade last week, Ben Murdoch-Masila regains his spot in the starting side in place of Su’A.
