NSW Country have been dealt a triple blow with star backs Brett Stewart, Jamie Lyon and Matt Cooper all ruled out of Friday night's clash with City.
Fullback Stewart (calf), and the centre pairing of Lyon (personal reasons) and Cooper (back) were all scratched at Monday morning's medical.
Cronulla's Brett Kearney moves from the bench to fullback while Joel Monaghan shifts from the wing to the centres.
His centre partner will be North Queensland's Ben Harris.
The Sydney Roosters' Amos Roberts comes into the side on the wing while St George Illawarra utility Ben Hornby comes onto the bench.

Interesting.

More likely dummy spit, didnt get selected at 5/8, he should be rules inelgible for NSW team, he can get away not playing for country as Manly have bye, otherwise hw ould have had to stand down.

Lyon - Primma donna, maybe Brian Smith has soemthing to do with country team

Would this mean if Minichello remains injured, and for whatever reason Brett Stewart is out, its between Kearney and Hodgson for the 1?

Cause if so I think Kearneys got the bacon.

Fair point BBSF.

How bad is Stewart?

 

[Nuffs]

kurt gidley would be #1 for NSW in that case i would think

 

[evv]

and if gidley is No.1 then Kearney No.17??

 

[sydneysharkbrisbane68]

and if gidley is No.1 then Kearney No.17??

Different coaches want different players Daley is country coach during game yesterday said Kearney would be picked, would Bellamy be wanting Kearneys style in NSW team, if Gidley gets halfback role Kearney maybe a big chance for the bench role, a lot will depend on how he goes in rep match, he has done everything right, it must also help with Ricky around
