Leeds Rhinos have been dealt an early setback in their off-season preparations as fullback Lachie Miller suffered an injury that will impact his availability heading into the pre-season. The club has confirmed that Miller’s injury, which they had initially kept under wraps, is more serious than first anticipated, potentially affecting his readiness for the start of the upcoming season.
Miller, who joined the Rhinos last season and quickly became a fan favorite with his speed and agility, picked up the injury during training sessions designed to maintain fitness during the break. Leeds’ management initially kept details of Miller’s condition quiet to assess the full extent of his injury without causing unnecessary concern among fans. However, as scans revealed the injury’s significance, the club decided it was time to disclose the information and provide an update on Miller’s recovery process.
Leeds Rhinos’ head coach, Rohan Smith, acknowledged that Miller’s injury is a significant blow to the team’s early preparations but remains optimistic about his return. “We kept it quiet initially because we didn’t want to raise alarm, but now that we have a clearer picture, it’s only fair to let fans know where things stand,” Smith said. “Lachie is a resilient player, and we know he’ll put in the hard work to get back on the field as soon as possible.”
The club’s medical team is working closely with Miller to develop a structured rehabilitation plan, aiming to have him fit by the time the season kicks off. His absence will require Leeds to adapt, potentially giving other players the opportunity to fill the gap and make an impact during pre-season.
Miller’s injury has sparked concern among supporters who were excited to see him build on his impressive debut season. As a dynamic player with the ability to break through defensive lines, his presence is pivotal to the Rhinos’ attacking strategy. However, the club remains hopeful that this early setback will only be a temporary hurdle in their preparations for the new season. Leeds fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates, hopeful for Miller’s speedy and full recovery as the team looks to start the season strong.
