In other not so good news Andrew Embley is set to miss the next month of football due to surgery on a knee injury. Never good news, particularly to one of our key players. He will hopefully be right to return following the bye.

The upside is our team gets considerably better when we inject the likes of Mark Nicoski and Andrew Embley into it…

Update
Three changes - LeCras, Brown and Armstrong are out, in come Cox, Fletcher and Morton.
