There was John Sattler's broken jaw, Sam Burgess' fractured eye socket and cheekbone, now Adam Reynolds has become part of South Sydney folklore by playing 74 minutes with a broken back.
The Rabbitohs halfback fractured his L3 vertebrae in the opening minutes of the Parramatta game just nine days ago, and now has to wait for his back to heal naturally before he can return.

He has no idea how long he will be sidelined, but the injury has stopped him from sleeping, putting on his shoes or even picking up his four young children.
South Sydney's casualty ward also grew a little bigger on Saturday with Tom Burgess now requiring ankle surgery, while famous brother Sam was already booked in to have a clean-out operation on his left shoulder.
Tom was also served a one-match suspension for striking Newcastle's Daniel Saifiti.
Reynolds clutched at his back after he dived on an Eels grubber underneath his own posts in the sixth minute last Friday, only to go on and finish the game with 16 tackles and kicking for nearly 600 metres.

"I copped a knee in the back, I didn't think too much of it at the time, I thought it was a cork and tried to run it out,'' Reynolds said. "I got some heat into it at half-time and tried to keep moving so it wouldn't get cold.
"It didn't get better over the next few days. I tried to run on Tuesday, got some massage, they sent me off for scans and it came back saying I had fractured the L3.
"It sounds scarier than it actually is. It had nothing to do with the spinal cord.
"I'm aware of the risks that come with playing rugby league, injuries are part of the game.
"I have no idea when I'll be back. It's purely on feel and how the body reacts. AFL players who have had it have been back in two weeks, three weeks, some six weeks.
"We have a bye coming up soon, so it gives us a couple of extra weeks to get it better.
"Walking is fine, but I can't put my shoes and socks on. If I lay in the one spot for 10 minutes it starts to ache. Sleeping isn't pleasant at the moment. I feel for my wife who has to look after all our kids."
Reynolds also suffered a blow a week earlier when there were fears he may have broken his leg, only for scans to reveal it was deep bruising. His monster right boot and organisational skills were sorely missed against the Knights as was his halves partner Cody Walker who was rested after his Origin debut.
Meanwhile, Souths' Origin contingent of Walker, Damien Cook, Dane Gagai and Cameron Murray will be given until Wednesday off training to freshen up physically and mentally ahead of Saturday's hit-out against Penrith.
Cook, who punched out 69 minutes against Newcastle, said he could use the time to escape down the south coast and recharge.
"I'll try and keep my mind away from footy as much as possible and freshen the mind. There a couple of big weeks coming up," Cook said. "The other night [in Origin] there were a lot of things we didn't do well. We have some great attacking shapes and attacking weapons and we didn't use it to our full strength.
"We didn't play at our best, we were at Suncorp and only lost by four points, so we'll take some positives out of that. We have to do it the hard way now, but we're only focused on Perth."
