Lock Anthony Watmough has not been named to play, and will be monitored throughout the week for a shoulder complaint picked up against the Melbourne Storm in Round 14.

Fullback Reece Robinson has suffered a fractured cheekbone and will miss approximately 6 weeks of competition.

Hooker Kaysa Pritchard will miss the rest of the 2015 season with a pectoral injury.

Hooker Nathan Peats sustained a knee injury in the Eels’ Round 14 clash against the Melbourne Storm and is likely to return by Round 19 or 20.

Centre John Folau will miss four weeks of competition following a leg injury in the Wenty Magpies’ Round 15 match over the weekend.

The following players also remain unavailable for selection for the Blue and Gold:

Isaac De Gois remains sidelined after undergoing surgery for facial fractures.

Richie Fa'aoso remains sidelined indefinitely following his shoulder injury in Round 11.

Second-rower Manu Ma'u will miss one more match (Round 16) after accepting an early guilty plea for a dangerous contact charge.

Peni Terepo (pectoral), Beau Champion (knee) and Kenny Edwards (knee) remain on the injury list and will miss the rest of the 2015 season

So that's only 11 players who are currently unavailable.........

"I'll say this with regards to the officiating when you lose 52-4 you don't complain about officiating you just don't and I'm glad to see JR in the presser said nothing about the mentioned.You just can't complain about it when you get drilled like we…"

"Also was anyone actually expecting us to win the comp? We can still meet our goals of being a good top 8 team by the end of the year despite this performance. Well that was my expectations at least."

  Kaysa was awesome last week. He put some of our regular first grade players to shame.

Choc to be monitored through the week, suggests he may be a chance to play? Otherwise it would surely say "out til round x" or "will miss this weeks game" etc? We need him. His defence around the ruck is very good, we have barely conceded a try up the middle this year

I think that the public always says that the panthers are unlucky with injuries but we are worst. We have 11 players out while panthers only have 6
