Locky expected to announce his future tonight.

Where do you get the year from?

Cowboys staff will assess the damage with scans on Monday, but a serious injury could see him sidelined for up to a month and put him in doubt for the Test against New Zealand on May 7.

North Queensland Cowboys halfback Johnathan Thurston suffered a season-ending shoulder injury as his side succumbed to a 23-16 defeat against Wests Tigers.

As far as I'm concerned, he's not out for the season until the Cowboys confirm it.

If thats the case, Goodbye Cowboys.

I think it'd be highly unlikely he's out for the season. Month worst case scenario. It's not like he totally dislocated the shoulder. Subluxation implies it's a partial dislocation, which is more partial tearing/stretching of ligaments rather than ruptures (which require surgery).

 

[Mister Wright]

It's still going to be hard to see him playing the first Origin game at least. Definitely won't play the test. I really hope they give Prince the gig.

I have it on good authority from NQ that early diagnosis indicates it's a month, 6 weeks tops.

And thats what is on all the news sites and tv apart from fox sports website. Will def miss the test match, may be fit for game 1

Prince might be struggling to be fit for it himself. I think (even if Prince is fully fit) they will go with Cronk if they need to replace JT

 

[Kimlo]

I think Prince should be selected for the test match but not for Origin.

IMO I think Prince is a better player anyway and should be chosen if it was purely individual. However with all the combination's Cronk would be the better choice in origin.

 

[Flutterby]

Same combinations in Aust team

 

[Kimlo]

Same combinations in Aust team

Yeah but international games are no where near as intense and combinations do not tend to play as big a part as they do in Origin games where the pressure is intense and scorelines tend to be low.

 

[Nashy]

lol leaving that comment alone.

broncospwn: worst. justification. ever.

The fact is the Australian team is miles ahead of everyone else, we could pick shane perry and still win. I believe Prince has more individual skill so he deserves to be rewarded. If the sole focus was winning than yeah I would still chose Cronk either way because he has a great combination with all key positions.

 

[Nashy]

Dude. Have you been drinking?

Did you just say.

"If they want to win, they should pick Cronk. But they should pick Prince"

Why wouldn't winning be the sole focus in a test? What else are they going out there to do exactly?

I mean if it was actually going to be a tight contest, Australia will blow NZ out of the water anyway regardless of the choice they make. I think Prince is mighty unlucky to miss out on rep selections so much.

I think the kiwis will be quite good this year IMO.
