i know he came back on and played out the game, but i heard a news bulletin last night saying the club was concerned about it.

anyone heard whether he'll be okay for this week?

Well under Ross you can guarantee that if it is bad news that we will hear nothing...Dal will be selected ...and then will be a late withdrawl just prior to the game.

The saints this year only go public if everbody already knows!!!!

Defender/tagger Steven Baker will be recalled immediately after completing a seven-match suspension, while Sam Gilbert is in doubt with a shoulder injury. Medical staff have already cleared Nick Dal Santo of any damage to his shoulder after he received a knock on Friday night that briefly forced him off the field

very encouraging article.....NOT!

Schneider the clubs says is only 50/50 on returing and Gardy hasn't responded as well as hoped.....so it's a bit dicey at the moment.

I reckon we are gone if neither King or Gardy come up for Saturday - our defence will be under too much pressure for too long if Port get a big advantage in the middle.

Which is pretty much par the course for Lyon... he started out wanting to "play no games" with selection, but has completely 180'd since then. We can expect both Schneider and Gardiner to be 50/50 until the moment they return at which point they were always going to play... Dal will be considered 100%, and if he doesn't pull up, he was never going to paly, at which point he'll be 50/50 till his next game.

I'll give Lyon this, when he learns his lesson, it stays learned!

This is just my opinion and I have no inside knowledge or anything but based on Ross Lyon's history I would expect the only changes to be for this week to be...
OUT: King, C.Jones
IN: Gehrig, Baker

Would be nice to see King, Gardiner and Schneider out there but I don't think it will happen.

We also can't let Dal miss a game, he's on like 106 straight matches now isn't he?
