Justin Poore fails to train with Dragons
September 10, 2009 - 12:14PM
St George Illawarra prop Justin Poore has failed to train with the NRL side after suffering a calf injury.
The NSW State of Origin representative sat out an intense session at WIN Stadium with his left calf heavily iced.
Dragons captain Ben Hornby said he believed the injury to be minor as the side prepares for Sunday's qualifying final against Parramatta at WIN Jubilee Oval.
"He didn't train today but we're hopeful he's going to be able to play," Hornby told reporters.
The minor premiers are otherwise injury free for their second match in two weeks against the Eels, who they thrashed 37-0 at the same venue last Friday night.
Hornby himself has recovered from a stomach bug he picked up earlier in the week and took part in the majority of Thursday's training session.
"I feel a fair bit better, obviously I'm not completing full training sessions at the moment but I'm definitely feeling a lot better," he said.
Hornby will play his 200th first grade game for the Dragons on Sunday.

Poore had ice on it last week at the end of the game, has had it in compression all week. Hopefully he pulls up ok!!

 

[Coppo_ForeverYOUNG]

He'll be alright......... I hope

 

[watatank]

He'll be ok. If not we have an able replacement in Saffy who would be seething over being overlooked last week.

 

[Doug2234]

come on poore!!

YOU CAN DO IT!

 

[Steel Dragon]

A fired up Saff would be an apt replacement!
I doubt we'd lose much that way if Poore did have to sit a week (or two) out. Would get him ultra fired up for the next game too!

 

[Dragon Dave]

Push through Frank! Play a blinder then you can put it on ice for 2 weeks.

 

[Creaghfish]

Just one more Poore!

then week off to rest

 

[SilentAssassin]

Lucky we have the Sunday arvo game. You'd think he'd be in extreme doubt if we had another Friday night game.

I reckon he'll play.

 

[Doug2234]

hope he plays.

he had a solid game last week stopping Moi Moi!

 

[muzby]

i can see the headline for pre-season training next year...


Justin Poore trains to fail with the Eels

 

[Doug2234]

Ahh yeah Poore is off to Parra next year.

I didnt see anyone mention this in the lead up thread to last weeks game!!

 

[Godz Illa]

Hopefully he'll push through and play. Had an unbelievable game last week, 16 hitups for 121 metres, 23 tackles in just 47 mins.

 

[jono]

He's been given an advance on his contract to sit out this week against us!

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Yeah i was at Dragons training yesterday with my brother (open session) and i noticed that Poore didnt train but didnt think too much of it. I reckon he will be sweet though.

 

[Southernsaint]

He potentially only needs to play 3 more games and then who really cares how the rest of his career turns out...

I agree.

That's what I think about everyone who leaves the Dragons for money.

I would of liked to see Lance Thompson do well. But seeing as he played for the scum the poor bloke had no hope of winning anything. I feel sorry for him having to put that jersey on. Must of made him feel sick.

yeh, i rkn he should be fine... he'll bounce back from it and have a blinder IMO !
