Farah Out, Hodgo in Doubt

[ooeey_ranga]

A right ankle injury has forced Wests Tigers hooker Robbie Farah out of Friday night’s match against Cronulla Sharks at Leichhardt Oval.

Farah did not train with the team today. He hopes to return next week against the Gold Coast Titans.

His injury means Wests Tigers now head into the ‘must win’ match against the Sharks without Farah, prop Keith Galloway (foot) and centre Dean Collis (knee) as well as suspended prop Todd Payten..

Captain and full-back Brett Hodgson is now in doubt for his final home match with a leg injury.

Coach Tim Sheens won’t finalise his starting team until late tomorrow.

Second-rower Chris Heighington has urged all Wests Tigers Members and supporters to get out to Leichhardt Oval on Friday and help lift to team to a much needed victory.

"Our members and supporters had a right to be disappointed at last week’s performance, so we are preparing to dig deep and show our faithful followers how much their support means,’’ Heighington said.

what's wrong with hodgo?

 

[tiger_nick]

sharks are still $1.85, get on them while you can!!

 

[ooeey_ranga]

I'd say the same injury that kept him out a couple of weeks ago.

Hopefully he can take the field so they can send him off like he deserves...

Oh well, didn't expect WT's to win, just hope they can play well and recover some honour. This will just provide further disruption. I hope Shannon Gallant can get a run....

Hodgos hammy i think it is.

So all of a sudden Nathen Waters starting at halfback doesnt seem so crazy hahaha

 

[baddog]

waters is playing injured. both biceps are bad and opposition sides are targeting him in defence because of it.

 

[madunit]

Moltzen will shift to half, Morris to hooker, Ryan in the centres Gallant on the wing possibly

2nd that... with all the injuries there could be an opening for him tho:shock: Noooooooooo please no.

 

[The Gambler]

Hahaha wouldn't the sh*te hit the fan if McDonnell was picked at fullback instead of Gallant.

when they announce shan-o-mac on friday night, i hope they play an edited version back in black, "mac is back..." that'll get the crowd into it.

Make or break game for Benji here, he has to step up, if he can't do it, he's not worth the coin he's on, seriously, he has to win this one for us and win it big.

kinda levels the playing field a bit.

i still think you guys will win.

possible golden point game.

Oh no not golden point,, we cant win a golden point game for sh*t. But i think the game can go 2 ways, a big win our way or a massive win sharkies way.

 

[madunit]

it seems benji is only any good with a quality halfback next to him who can do most of the kicking and a sh*thouse defensive team.

have a look at his good games since the grand final, these have been the only times he's looked the goods.

Time to lift your game Benji
