"He has said all season that he wanted to emulate Doyley, but I don't think he had this particular way in mind, what with Doyley suffering injury and missing out on the finals as well."
Lewis Kerr will come in as Perry's replacement for the final three matches.
Tonight Somerset go to Ipswich and defend a 14-point lead after last week's 53-39 win over the Witches at the Oaktree Arena.
They could then return to Somerset as League Cup holders for the first leg of the Premier League Grand Final against Scunthorpe Scorpions tomorrow night.
The Rebels host the Scorpions at the Oaktree Arena on Friday evening (7.30pm), and will be looking to build up another healthy lead to defend in the away leg on Sunday afternoon (4pm).
