Keating could be out for a month

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on April 4, 2011 at 4:41pm

After producing arguably one of his finest top grade performances, Eel's hooker Matt Keating is believed to have broken his finger over the weekend and could be out for a month.

It's understood the incident that caused the injury wasn't football-related, so it represents a cruel turn of luck for Keating who was one of Parra's best in their defeat of North Queensland on the weekend.

Parramatta will be sweating on the return of Casey McGuire, who injured his calf in the Souths match two weeks ago. Despite initial concerns that it could be a serious injury, scans came up favourably for McGuire and it was hoped that he would miss just a single match.

To Be honest this really does give mitchell a great opportunity that I think he deserves a chance

I guess the questions is if mcguire is still out this weekend mitchell would have to be 9 who would be 14?

I would personally go for Morts on the bench and maybe bring in Murray... but haven't seen Murray play....

I am going to say that this is a bit of bloody bad luck.

Up from Bundy Cup?

  Bundy had 50 put on them by Cabra and i left early, was not impressed by Murray at all but probably not much he could do in a well beaten side.

It would be fantastic if Humble was match fit, he'd slot straight in. But I don't think he played last week or at any stage this year so would be a big risk!

Is Mitchell capable of playing 80 mins? You could move Robson into 9, Morts to 7 and bring Hayne up into the halves for a spell to give Mitchell a breather...

Dude, Murray is playing Bundy cup which means he is not even our next option for halfback. I would really like it if fans would see the players through their form and not reputation.

The broken finger happened after Keating was bitten by his dog apparently.
