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."
