Grand Final Injuries & Suspensions Updates

[midfielder]

Anybody got here how bad the injuries are. Boogs look really sick coming off.

We were talking after the match, did Hutch get a yellow in the first match and is there a 2 yellow only in the final series, meaning he would be out of the GF.

In my bones I feel its our year.

 

[pjennings]

Clarky, Gumps, Kwas and JA got yellows in the first. None doubled up. All clear on the card front.

 

[Blackadder]

No Yellow for Hutch in game 1 vs Newc, yes for the finals 2 yellows=1 week suspension (keep in mind the cards are reset at the start of the finals)

 

[skilbeck]

I read that Checkers and Tommy are getting X-rays tomorrow

 

[tyson]

im actually not too worried about them... after the way our defence played with boogs on left and clarky on right, and the way gumps played... i feel pretty safe, especially knowing that owens is fit.

 

[Jesus]

5 Scummers and 6 QLD are on yellows i think. Concidering that their match is do or die, the grand final and asia on the line, we could see a few suspensions

 

[FFC Mariner]

Goody - lots of injuries in another 120min slogathon and plenty of cards all round. Stories of heartbreak about missing the GF.

Nice heavy pitch too please.

Sporting...........nah

40+ degree weather would be great also.

Tommy is probably the worst of the injuries, lucky for him we have a week off

So let's get this straight... We are looking for pouring rain up to 5mins prior to kickoff.. then the sun to come beaming in all it's intensity.. We then want Griffiths to score, snapping a hamstring in the process, then another from someone... Then we want the sun to shine even brighter.. Reinaldo to get one, then Song to put one past Covic    Og to snap Song just for fun... Extra time then penalties with a fair smattering of yellow cards throughout... Almost makes it worth going to the game...

-Game played to go into extra time and penalties.
-Game to be played in 40+ heat
-Game to be played on a heavy pitch after the floods from Queensland head south and cleanse Newcastle.
-Plenty of red cards early, leaving the minimum of players allowed on the pitch including Griffiths after recieving a ninja kick to the back of the hamstring by Danny Titthead but cannot be subbed due to early changes.
-Multiple injuries to both Newcastle and Qld's team during match, with the added heat, resulting in a match which looks like the film clip to Michael Jacksons "Thriller"
-Newcastle win and head to the Grand final full of suspensions and injuries leaving their makeshift starting squad to shape up like this;

GK) Boxcar Joe
LB) Cletis the slack jawed yokel
CB) Steven Laybutt
CB) Sinbad
RB) Eagelton
CM) Niel Responsorial psalm (Noel Spencer)
CM) Kim Jong Il
CM) Monkey Magic
RM) Jake Poland
CF) Jardel the Hutt
CF) David Zdrillic

As a Mariners fan, thats what im looking for.

When we beat them, QLD or Scum in the GF, we want it to be with a fully fit opposing side.  Can you imagine the commentary:

If the *insert team here* were fully fit, i can't imagine the mariners beating them.  Luck has been on the mariners side all year and they merely scraped by to win this years grand final.  Lets hope luck is on the side of the other 7 teams in the comp next year.

Bugger that!  I want us to be able to smash the opposing side when they're at their best, show everyone what the mariners are capable of!!

 

[kevrenor]

If it is Queensland, maybe we can help lull them into complacency with a banner ....

See you in Asia ...
but we'll have the Toilet Seat!

I understand your point but winning is all that counts - Harper et al will try to devalue our season regardless.

I have complete confidence we can beat either team full strength.

Ergo, I hope nobody gets hurt.

Well, I hope Joel Griffiths burns to a crisp in a fiery explosion after his car gets hit by a semi during the week, but that has nothing to do with the game - that's just principle

Can it be an empty semi ? I would hate to think that of a  normal human getting sacrificed to rid the planet of this effluent. Noble act though it would be of course

That's not good for us at all.....

How about Aloisi...... what was wrong with him on sunday?  has he an injury?  or is it poor confidence?  if it's the latter..someone give him a big hug and tell him we all love him and start scoring again....

a number of factors for johnny:
1. being double marked leaving sasho and kwassy with extra space
2. knee still a problem
3. and my guess confidence a little low after muffing some easy chances recently

 

[Marquee]

The telegraph says that Aloisi was battling bruised ribs and a sore knee
