Preparations for this weekend's battle with Palm Beach have been rocked by the withdrawal of stars Shaun Daly and Luke Faulkner from the Tiger's squad. Daly will be back in his hometown of Albury attending a funeral whilst Faulkner is still recovering from fractures in his back from a marking contest during a match 4 weeks ago. To add to coach Ferguson's woes veteran Andrew Housego failed to complete training last night and is in serious doubt to line up in the black and gold on Saturday.
Whilst the ommisions of Daly, Faulkner and Housego comes as a blow to the sides chances against the powerhouse Gold Coast outfit, there were encouraging signs from the group on the track last night to cause an upset. The Tigers will need to come prepared to counter the star studded Lions in particular Murphy, Carr and Munro who appear classes above the competition this season.
