Thommo, Dykes, Pom out

[timber]

Just herd on channel ten that those players above are out.i wonder who wil replace them.id say simmo to fullback, kearney to 5/8. Ciraldo to start with cooper on the bench and nielson or stephneson to the centeres.

 

[kJm]

wat r the reasons
wat kind of injurys
i no that pomeroy left the field on monday but what has happened with thommo and dykesy

 

[Dutchie1983]

I hope Thomo isnt out we cant afford to have him out. I dont know if this is all true either guys, Poms yes he was injured the whole second half and Dykes may have a sore foot again and Thomo meh he never gets hurt

 

[Megashark]

Just saw Danny Weidler's report, apparently Poms and Dykes have already been ruled out and Thommo is in doubt with a knee injury, while Gallen's return is still at least another week away. Also of interest in the news item, Noddy said he is keen for a two-year contract extension, and Thommo is a part-time player manager, Nathan Merrit is one of his clients!

 

[kJm]

From Fox Sports, each player has the following injury:

Adam Dykes- Foot injury under his arch, he is out indefintitly, 2, 4, 6 weeks

Ben Pomeroy- Has a hip injury and is out of the game against Bunnies

Lance Thompson- Has some kind of tear in his knee and is out of this weeks match.

There was no metion of what players will fill the postions.

It was also said how Ricky like to pull suprises with his line-up refering to Gallen but he said "no return for Gallen this week" lets hope he is faking to fool the Rabbits.

 

[Jigsaw]

yeah doesnt thommo and Mundine work together as part time mangers. and i cant remember but i think that have Kingston or Stosic as one of there other clients as well as merrit.


oh and even though it saddens me to see Dykes out. i really hope Kearney moves into the halfs and Kills it with Noddy.
Shame about Poms as well the man is awesome and a great youngster i really hope we can hold onto him for a long time.
And thommo as much as it will hurt us im glad he is getting this injury out of the way now.

 

[brad]

spwewin all 3 of em are out!

 

[Dutchie1983]

Spewing Thomo is out, that really stuffs up my fantasy team. And we are going to miss him and Poms the most.

 

[Megashark]

Yeah we are going to miss all of them, Thommo especially will be hard to replace as his workrate is huge, and he was close to our best in the first two rounds. So what's Ricky going to do now? I would be inclined to start Stapleton in the second row and bring Leuluai on to the bench, put Simmo into the starting side at fullback, switch Kearney to five-eighth in place of Dykes, and bring Nielsen into the centres for Pomeroy.

 

[Great White]

Thank god we now have depth to cover these positions.

 

[j0rd0_ShArKs]

any news on whos coming in to the side great white?

im hearing Simmo to fullback
Kearney to 5/8
not sure about other positions
there could also be a suprise packet

 

[Nobby The Sharkyboy]

Guys

I'm thinking other than Kearney to 5/8, and Simmons to Fullback, I was thinking Cooper to the centre's(Deserves a chance), and i think they will bring Gallen in, Sticky also likes to keep them Guessing with the late changes, and Gallen said he was ready 2 weeks ago, I think he will come in.

 

[brently]

kearney to 5/8, simmo to fullback. Stapleton in for thommo. Not sure who will get bench spot but i'm with mega; bring on looloo. Cooper will prob get centre spot as he has been the 18th man so far. I think they should err on the side of caution with Gallen, make sure he's right. We don't want him to do a Benji. Expecting a well-disciplined effort after Monday night's debacle.

Here's an update on the injury situation from http://www.sharks.com.au , no-one has officially been ruled out yet but all three are highly unlikely to play on Saturday night:

INURED TRIO IN DOUBT FOR SOUTHS MATCH

Three players injured in the Sharks loss to the Gold Coast Titans are in doubt for Saturday night’s match with the undefeated South Sydney side.

Adam Dykes, Ben Pomeroy and Lance Thompson have all but been ruled out, with coach Ricky Stuart and Sharks physio Matt Green to make decisions on their fitness later in the week. Dykes is struggling with a foot problem, Pomeroy with a badly bruised hip and Thompson with a knee injury.

None of the injuries are long term or serious, but their absence, especially that of Dykes and Thompson, could leave the Sharks a little short on experience for the Souths clash.

“If those guys don’t play it will give someone else the chance to show what they can do in first grade,” Stuart said. “It will be a big challenge but this team will turn up every week and have a crack.”

At this stage likely replacements have not been named, with Stuart yet to assess the form of those players who went around in Premier League last week.

A decision on Paul Gallen will also be left until closer to the game, however early indications are that he might be one more week away in relation to getting back onto the paddock.

Stuart does have David Simmons ready to re-enter the fold, with the likely scenario should Dykes be unable to play seeing Brett Kearney switching to five eighth and Simmons taking over in the fullback role.

Phil Leuluai, who impressed Stuart with his size and strength during the pre season trials, has overcome an ankle injury and will also be available should he be needed. Leuluai got through 60 minutes of game time in the Premier League last week and pleased the Sharks coaching staff with his first-up performance.

The Sharks v Souths clash, a match featuring the return to Toyota Park of Nigel Vagana and David Peachey in opposition colours, kicks off at 7.30pm.

The big game is part of a ‘super Saturday’ of rugby league, with the afternoon beginning with the under-16 Matthews Cup Sharks playing Illawarra at 12.30pm. In all five matches will be played, with the Matthews Cup, SG Ball, Jersey Flegg and Premier League Sharks all in action at Toyota Park on Saturday.

 

[Dutchie1983]

hmmmmm not the best news in the world, but at least we have the depth to be able to not get too worried about loosing 3 key players at once.

 

[db72]

I say leave kearney where he is as he is killing them and this will only affect his confidence...

Put Simmons into the centres and look giving seymour a crack at 5/8. He has played a lot of first grade and this is why we bought him isn't it? As for Thommo... well how can you replace that work horse... Stapleton will not let us down and is solid.

 

[zakspiders]

its all a test of depth.
hopefully the lower grades and injury returns can do it for us.

 

[brently]

i don't see simmo running hard at the line the way good centres should. but hey, prove me wrong and i wont mind a bit.

 

[Woody]

I reckon Simmo will try his guts out on Saturday night, cause if he doesn't he could never see first grade again. I hope they definitely move Kearney to 5/8 though, offers a lot more than seymour

 

[Nulla Boy]

simmo on wing
anderson to centres
seymour at f/8
or maybe even give nielson a go in the centres he looked the goods in the trials.
