I think we should keep the following players on the bench.
Rutgo
Tongue
Cross, and maybe Mick Monas just to give him a go in 1st grade, and for a bit of insurance if Mclinden goes off.

Hmm... I swore I posted this here yesturday... I guess I was distracted...

Here are my comments on the team at least.

Woolford is out for two
McLinden is aparantly good (broken finger but should be good to go).
Surprised to see Ian in #13, he should go great from there though.
Nice to see Michael Hodgson getting a starting spot!
Finally, interesting bench, I'm thinking Graham or Evans are backups for Schifcofske if he pulls out (which I doubt) while M.Monaghan is the backup for McLinden.

McLinden didn't break his finger. He split the webbing between his ring and little fingers.

Matthew Elliott has named his lineup for this Saturday's clash with the North Queensland Cowboys. Mark McLinden was found at yesterday's MRI to have a small fracture in his finger, but will most likely take the field with the finger heavily strapped.

i wouldnt mind seeing M.Monaghan get a run this game...his chance to show us what he can do...

thats what i was thinking, however Macca has been named........ I think we will see Drew really stand up in hooker this week ;-)

 

[greeneyed]

M Monas might get a game if Macca's broken knuckle won't stand up.....

my knowledge is it isnt a broken anything, but rather a deep cut to the webbing between 2 of his fingers........ cant quite remember which two

Apologies...

damn!
i thought it was just a cut

 

[Purtell The Turtle]

Schif is in doubt for the match, is playing with injury and can see him being rested for this week.

Marty is also doubtful, but I think he will play. It is a fracture to his knuckle as well as the laceration. They can strap it and he could play, but you never know, he might be rested.

Skippy is also carrying injury, but he will play. The Oompa Loompa has a sore hamstring, but should be right to go.

I kind of hope Schif gets rested so he can come back fresh. He seems to be lacking a slight bit, hard to say(being one of his biggest supporters(the creator of the original schif happens banner!!)), but it could be best for us.

 

[bucko]

Good to see him score a great try against Manly, hasn't done that for awhile.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

i dont think its safe to rest players now in the risk of needing him because we cant risk losing a game in the hope of gaining the minor premiership... without woolford, we need schif and croker to organise the team!

 

[bucko]

I think Michael Monaghan deserves a shot if Schif ain't playin, just for his playmaking ability.

Johns out for season
August 14, 2003

AUSTRALIAN and Newcastle captain Andrew Johns will miss the remainder of the National Rugby League season and the Kangaroo tour because of a bulging disc in his neck.


Johns: season-ending neck injury

Johns, who missed last year's finals with a back injury, hurt his neck against North Queensland last weekend. More to come

 

[Raider_69]

That good to know!

if we win that match it should ensure we get a top 4 IMO

 

[Ultima]

Have a little faith! We already have a top four spot and we aren't about to lose it! This just makes getting out first minor all that easier
