Simpson - OUT

[sante]

Adam Simpson is meant to be a late withdrawal from the game sunday. Laidley said on the news that there is a chance he won't play.


Good news, we should getmore clearances with him out of their midfield.

Posted this in another thread but it would seem that he'll probably miss this week.



Query over Simpson

Kangaroos skipper Adam Simpson is in doubt for Sunday's clash against Richmond at Telstra Dome, due to a foot injury.

Simpson, who has played every home-and-away match this season, trained on Friday, but coach Dean Laidley said there was a chance the dual premiership player may not line-up against the Tigers.

"(There is a) fair possibility he won't play," Laidley said before training at Arden St on Friday.

"We would probably make a decision on that this afternoon or tomorrow morning depending on how he pulls up."



Meanwhile, Laidley was still undecided whether key forward Sav Rocca would line-up with Nathan Thompson for the Kangaroos this round, after he booted one goal last Sunday against Melbourne.

"It worked for probably eight rounds and the last couple of times he (Rocca) has played it probably hasn't worked all that much," Laidley said.

"But I wouldn't be too critical on Sav himself because I reckon it's been a bit about delivery as well.

"But having said that, he (Rocca) has had some opportunities that he hasn't taken and it is something that the coach has got to juggle."

Simo sat out the last bit of our game against the Dee's so i think he will miss.

Unfortunate for him if he misses but obviously good news for us. I wonder if Daniel Harris will get more of a run as a result.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Don`t know so much , Rocca would have been a sitting duck for Gaspar , and he has struggled at times when matched up against a smaller forwards at times this year ( Yze )

Could be a good move on the Roos part
