Daniel & Johnson in doubt

Daniel and Richard Johnson will have fitness tests on Saturday morning before being included in the Phoenix squad for Sydney.

Johnson has a hamstring problem, while Daniel has a groin issue.



Would have a huge impact if both are ruled out.

Especially if Ricki continues to freeze Felipe out...  Nix need Felipe and Daniel in the team together though, so it would be ironic if Felipe came back to replace Daniel!!

Oh crap, can we make a big song and dance about it like the Glory are trying to? Not fair poor us, we have injuries and all our players are away on international duty!
 
The bench guys will have to pick up the pace!

o please? freeze him out? what because he didnt bring him on in 1 game with 10 to go playing with 10? think there might be a few extra cirumstances as to why he didnt come on? Coaches don't freeze match winners like that, think about it

Would have a huge impact if 1 is ruled out.

Strange.
 
My vast experience of both hamstring and groin injuries is that they dont fix overnight, and they do have a tendency to recur if not allowed to fix completely.
 
So God knows what we are supposed to read into that, but I have my boots ready if necessary, and I watched Team Wellington last week, so I must be well qualified.

The 'match winner' is fully fit.
 
Why was he on the bench to start with?
