www.cowboys.com.auHere’s the latest on Jason Taumalolo.
- He was ruled out of a Pacific Championships match for Tonga due to a knee issue and underwent a knee cleanup, with optimism he would be fit for subsequent games. This reflects ongoing injury management around the 2025 Pacific Championships, rather than a long-term absence.[1]
- In 2025 reports, Taumalolo underwent Lisfranc surgery after returning from international duties, causing him to miss the early rounds of the Cowboys' season. This points to a significant recovery period but with expectations of a return later in the year.[3]
- For context, Taumalolo has a history of international choice for Tonga over New Zealand and remains a central forward for Tonga when fit. This helps explain his national-team duties during injury periods.[2]
- The most recent official club update notes him as a key player for the Cowboys, with treatment and recovery updates likely to influence his availability for upcoming NRL fixtures.[9][10]
