Newton out, Sims in country
May 8, 2006

NEWCASTLE back rower Clint Newton has been ruled out of the New South Wales Country Origin side to play NSW City in Dubbo on Friday night, due to a fractured eye socket.

Newton, named on Country's interchange bench, was injured in the Knights'32-30 NRL win over Brisbane in Newcastle yesterday.
St George-Illawarra forward Ashton Sims has been called into the Country Origin side as Newton's replacement.

It is the only change to the Country team named last night after the rest of the side passed this morning's medical tests.

Oh No He Isn't

Ashton Simms has a broken wrist, and at this point in time the CRL are trying to contact Anthony Lafranchie.
My source for this is my wife at the CRL.

Wonderful. Sims should be doing a thousand laps of Kogarah Oval for his woeful effort yesterday, but instead he'll be playing touch footy all week preparing for an utterly meaningless exhibition game.

He will be doing a thousand laps of the doctors surgery Godz, see the post above.

It ain't meaingless to the players in it. Sims has been going awesome in the past few weeks. I don't rate Newton anyway.

Are you fair dinkum?

 

[The Colonel]

Seems he is out W. One of the forumers in the Eels forum here works for the CRL and has confirmed.

 

[The Preacher]

My wife is PA to Terry Quinn, CEO of the CRL. Just spoke to her on the phone. 100% fair dinkum Willow.

 

[Willow]

Great. Thanks for that... I think. lol

Do we have any forwards left?

Young Tom Harberecht might be getting a call up sooner than he thought. I've pulled out with a crook body, my doctors orders.

 

[Willow]

It has been a while here as well. LOL.

Maybe we can find out how Graeme Wynn and Craig Young are shaping up.

charlie leano (sp) was a great debut, ur in for the season mate!!

 

[Willow]

Leaneo.
Yep, He didnt do anything wrong yesterday.
Andrew Price might get another call up. Lee TeMaari is too light to fill in. Has Aaron Wheatley put on any muscle since last year? Chris Houston also springs to mind.

Bailey, Isemonger, Payne, Ryles, Sims... that's a lot of experience sitting on the sidelines.

Sims said on 2sm he's gone for 8 weeks.

[Hutty1986]

;-) Give Reg Gasnier a run!

Gregstar, I think it's time to update the worker's comp recipients list.

 

[gregstar]

i can't - everytime i try to edit the sig, it tells me to get stuffed (in different words that is.)
