No Griffiths?

[gull]

Fox sports are carrying a story that Joel Griffiths has an injured hamstring and may miss the second leg.

Here is the link (hope it works!). http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,23166263-5000940,00.html

Agreed - they will do everything they can to ensure he plays some part in the game.

Allegedly out of Socceroos squad for the injury, but the 'injury' could have been used as an excuse for him not making the final squad (I'd expect though, that Virbeek would have liked to have given him a run at some stage). Wait and see....

No Griffiths for the return leg at Bluetongue would be noice, but would not hand us the match and the Grand Final berth.(They can, if they want to, try to defend the 2-0 win in the first leg - and field 10 defenders!)

Hopefully they will force him to play and he will really tear the thing

my day just keeps getting better and better

id rather beat them WITH griffiths.

give them no excuses. give them no faith. put them in doubt. crush their spirits.
football is a massive mental game... (refer to Aust v. Uruguay in WCQ)

Sorry Adam will still play, maybe score against you again

 

[tyson]

Maybe GVE is getting worried. I can't see any other reason to play stupid mind games with a 2-0 lead.

Adam? LOL. Didn't your mother teach you about lightning striking twice in the same spot floppius?

The tackle slapper has a 50/50 chance of playing the Jets camp are saying, with GVE attacking the lack of care "Griffo" received at Socceroo camp

Tyson I agree, we don't need Joel out to beat them, (though they absolutely need him in to win) and from all the wanking go on, looks like a good humbling is well overdue.

Just spoke to someone, who knows....

They said that Griffo is less than 50% chance if the pitch is wet.

I don't care if he plays or not.....the boys know what they need to do.

maybe its not mind games and he is injured and may not play

 

[uncleyellow]

couldn't happen to a better bloke...

If Karma exists, it would surely be a groin strain!!!

As of today, star striker, Joel Griffiths, is around an 80% chance of playing, but will have to complete a training session on Saturday morning in order to play some part in the game. New signing and Korean Youth Intenational, Song Jin-Hyung, may also get his first time on the pitch in Jets colours. The young midfielder has been training regularly with the team for some three weeks, and now has the clearance to play his first game.

Newcastle Jets Squad: 1. Ante COVIC, 2. Adam GRIFFITHS, 3. Jade NORTH (C), 5. Stuart MUSIALIK, 6. Andrew DURANTE, 8. Matt THOMPSON, 9. Joel GRIFFITHS, 10, DENNI, 11. Tarek ELRICH, 13.
