Gidley's Knee Infection

[Karmawave]

Is he playing tonight or sitting it out?

=(
i read about this
man, make this match less exciting

i guess its good practice to play without him during the origin period?
cuz i have massive doubts about us against the doggies next week

[Karmawave]

Source?

Gidley's knee.

BOO!

Not a good feeling about tonight and next week all of a sudden.

And 2 losses would put us in a meh position.

Really need this one tonight.

Got the periscope out have you?

Ok given Voltron's hint I have spent the 1 min required to look up the herald website and paste this link here

Which doesn't sound too bad to me having read that

Gidley's condition is causing concern among the Newcastle camp, but it is not expected to rule the 26-year-old dynamo out of the first State of Origin game in Melbourne on June 3.

Gotta love that crap. NOT!

So do people think that if Kurt doesnt play that means we have no hope of winning tonight?

I know Kurt is our top player but I think we can cope without him if he happens to be out.

 

[MC DUI]

Hopefully he will play based on these comments -

"He's had an injection and some tablets to settle it down and that has helped, so if he improves again tomorrow as much as he has today, he should be fine."

How did he get the knee infection in the first place? First time I heard about this was on the radio this morning.

Im disapointed that they took Macdonald and not Vuna...would much preffer Coop or Aku at the back should kurt not play. If kurt does play we might need to play wes on the bench rather than Ndaira.

 

[Hanscholo]

We had no issue winning without kurt in the past. Calm down.

 

[Bicey_18]

I think what the difference is compared to previous seasons is that Brian has us playing as a "team". In the past we heavily relied on the likes of Johns and Buderus.. now we have 17 guys playing as one who give their all every game. Im sure if Kurt is out, Shannon will fill in and do a good job. We do have pretty good depth in the areas that will be needed to fill come origin.

Rogers and Dureau would do a great job in the halves.
Vuna to come in for McManus (if picked)

I second JW's comment tbh.

As for Gids not playing tonight (possibly), not necessarily in terms of the overall performance by the boys that they maybe can't win, it'd just be more of a "body blow" on the day of the game to see him sit this one out.

 

[macavity]

apparently McDonnell had a blinder for Nelson Bay on the weekend...

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I dont think McDonnells that badder player to be honest..... Nothing special but a nice player to have to call up when Gid's aint available.

Certainly better then the Hinton's, Seage's and Co we let go.

 

[Spike]

There was nothing wrong with Seage's ability apart from being injury prone

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Betting is leading me to belive Gids won't play

Yep Hd2Hd at 1pm we were $2.05, now $2.25.

Line +2.5 we were $1.85, now a $1.95.
