Hindy almost certainly unavailable for Round 1

Hindmarsh has arthritis in feet

HE may only be 27 years old but Parramatta second-rower Nathan Hindmarsh has been cut down by arthritis in his feet.
Hindmarsh has only just resumed running, his off-season training consisting mainly of swimming. He has yet to sidestep at training.
The condition will almost certainly prevent Hindmarsh from playing in Saturday's match against New Zealand at Mount Smart Stadium.
Hindmarsh has not played a trial – his last match being Australia's golden-point win over New Zealand in November's Tri-Nations final.
He had surgery straight after the Tri-Nations and continues to recover.
Hindmarsh's recovery is on schedule but – given his lack of pre-season training – club officials will be reluctant to risk him against the Warriors, given the gruelling length of an NRL season.
"He will almost certainly be unavailable this weekend," confirmed Parramatta coach Michael Hagan.
"We have to be careful with Nathan's rehab. He has only been running four weeks but hasn't caught a football yet or stepped off his feet yet."
Asked about players so young having arthritis, Hagan said: "It is wear and tear on the joints. Danny Buderus had something similar."
Hindmarsh's injury will not be long term. He could be back in round two, if not, certainly round three.

LOL, I don't want him to step. Run straight Hindy.

But on a serious note, I reckon he should take the time off and get everything right before coming back.

It allows the other forwards to take more responsibility.

Bugger.

Hindy may not be ready for round 1 but I certainly am.

I've been taking my Parra jersey all around Asia and Europe since the start of December. I have photos of it while kissing the Blarney Stone to standing atop the Swiss alps.

Now that the season is approaching, I have found a local net cafe in Nth West London where I can stream 2GB and listen to the footy every Saturday and Sunday. I can't wait till 6:30am next Saturday morning my time cos I'll be right here watching the live updates of the Eels hopefully getting on top of the Warriors.

BTW, thanks to all for the constant updates of all the trials and footy news. Following it from this side of the globe requires more reading than when I was at uni.

Go Eels in '07!!!

[Stagger eel]

Don't worry Ben we'll keep you up to date, don't trust those 2GB people to give you the full (correct) story.

 

[Twizzle]

yeah, he needs to get it right before he starts playing

its only the first game

 

[The Colonel]

Only round one...... plenty more to go. Mind you I reckon he might just play...... ;-)

 

[cardinal]

It could be a good thing Hindy will be 100% when he comes back and it will mean all the backrowers will be in a shootout for a spot when he is back, rather than someone going back to prems. I hope Richie gets a go now.

 

[Stagger eel]

with both Hindy's in doubt we could see a couple a firstgrade debut by Weller..

 

[Mr_E]

Because it's the Warriors, I'd have something like this with neither of the Hindys in:
11 - Wags
12 - Robbo
13 - Mateo

14 - PJ
15 - Fa'oso
16 - Cordoba
17 - Cannings

See who to drop for the following week when Nathan comes back (hopefully).

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

drop Wags.

 

[Kornstar]

It just got harder, Weller or Zeb should be bought in, especially with the 2 Hindy's not there. It would be a very boring backrow if it is

11. Wagon
12. Robinson
13. Lowrie

and if it is that backrow, we will need Cayless, Moimoi and Cannings to tear them apart because our backrow won't do much.

 

[Utey]

Step up Zebby.

 

[JOB 3:14]

Hopefully the rest of the team won't have to rely on him by the time he gets back. Does anyone know if his brother is a certainty to play after round two?

 

[Stagger eel]

drop Wags.

he's only been our best player in the trials..

 

[caylo]

see id prob go
Robo
Fa'aoso
Wagz

Marsh
Mateo
Cannings
Tsuous/Cordoba

 

[cardinal]

drop Wags.

Wags is a certainty, a lot more so than luke burt. Actually burty at fullback might be scary if one of their big forwards break the line he may say what Peter Jackson did when Meninga ran over the top of him " but coach I yelled touch and he did'nt stop".

 

[Freak2]

Only round one...... plenty more to go. Mind you I reckon he might just play...... ;-)

I don't think so, and more than likely R3 against Tigers than Souths will be his first game!

Looking forward to boys ripping in and competing for the other 2 back row positions whilst Hindy is away!
