Anyone know anything ???
Was apperently doubtful last week and that is why Mini was put on the list. Dont know why he was doubtful but it may have been the foot and they are just protecting it. It is a long week for us. 9 days in between games so hopefully it will not be a problem.
Yeah saw that too hopefully it's just a precaution and he'll be training on Thursday. Ball out would be a huge blow to our already slim chances up there

Channel 10 [I think it was] reported along the lines of 'in further injury worries for the Saints, Ball suffered an ankle injury in Friday night's game'.
Didn't speculate on his availability for Brisbane game.
I have long thought that Luke, with his type on injury, should, as a professional action, seek a trade to a club that does not play 14+ games a year on an unsafe surface.
What i really want to know is when we are playing Football on the moon in the year 2485 - what will the injured player be wearing on his foot if it gets injured?
Good to see the chicky who did that report on Bally did her homework on the "moonboot".......or correctly termed as a CAM walker.
It just restricts lateral movement and gives you a little bit of up and down movement. Could be precautionary but you don't usually get put into one unless the doc seems to think that there is a possible serious problem.
I hope it's not too serious cos we need him out on the park.
It was a closed training session. Channel 10 were asked to leave. They were there for the Gehrig story, and had no real answers as to what was wrong with Ball. The story is simply the fottage of Ball in a boot.
Interesting to see if he does line up, but we can bet that without the Gehrig story to bring the cameras in, we'd all be expecting him to. I wonder if he'd have been wearing the boot if he knew the cameras would be there.
