Amos out for the season

[Willow]

<span>Busted shoulder... the same as last year. Saw him a sling last night at the Taj and today the club confirmed it by press release.
Yesterday at Kogarah, a few of us were discussing who would make way for Tingha (Amos or Saleh), and then he left the field clutching his shoulder.
Tough luck Amos.

St George Illawarra winger Amos Roberts will most likely join team mate Trent Barrett on the sidelines after x-rays today revealed a fracture in his right shoulder.
The damage is in the same place as an injury he suffered last year.
Roberts will consult an orthopedic surgeon later this week but it is likely that he will undergo a second shoulder reconstruction and will be out for the rest of the season.
The injury which occurred in the second half of yesterday's NRL match at Kogarah and finished off a poor afternoon for the Dragons who were convincingly beaten 36-16 by the visiting North Queensland Cowboys side.
The injury to Roberts paves the way for Nathan Blacklock who came back to St George recently and scored a try in yesterday's Premier League encounter against Balmain. - League Unlimited</SPAN>

I'm sorry to say that I missedit Benny. Got there in time for the main game.
I got a blow-by-blow from others though and they said he played allright. Did you see the game?

Attack = great

Defence = ordinary

I watched all of the Premier League game and was quite happy with Blacklocks form. He will never be a defensive genius, but in the same breath Bailey won't be a tryscoring wizard. My patience with our wingers is all but over at this point. Blacklock will remedy this situation to some degree. His return may well be the little 'spark' that we are looking for to get our season up and running.

Roberts may be out only for 6 weeks!

It was earlier thought he may miss the season with his second reconstruction to the same shoulder in 12 months.</span>
