The Manly Sea Eagles have been forced to name 21 players in a squad for Saturday's crucial Brookvale Oval clash with the New Zealand Warriors.

Hill (virus) and Randall (shoulder) missed the Sharks match while Heckenberg has had three games back in Premier League after returning from a six week layoff because of a knee injury.


Several players including prop Jason King have been confined to bed by the virus with lock Ben Kennedy added to the list today.


Centre Ashley Alberts has missed two weeks with the virus and has been ruled out of Saturday's match with the illness.

If Des names a 59 man bench, it gives him an excuse for when we lose. Simple as that.

Damn - I reckon I could get 17 of you right NOW who'd throw a jersey on this weekend. Anyone?

I'll play 7

Ive heard of a few elite athletes hit longer by viruses and stuff. Triathletes seem to be extremely prone to it, a firend of mine said when he was competing in europe that there were always people out sick

I keep saying it but I have a kid who is an elite Athlete (trains 6 times a week) She copped a double dose of Influenza A and has had three weeks where she hasn't run a step. It is ugly, kills the elderly and the young and if you get it, it is very hard to shake off. It is very slow to recover from. She has basically missed a month of school and is doing her HSC. Tried to play her hockey semi and played like a dog for half a game until needing replacement!!!

Fair Enough Flip , But I bet Kennedy wouldnt stay out 3 weeks for a Virus ?

True, but Kennedy is a freak when it comes to dealing with pain. Unfair to judge everyone's recuperative powers against Kennedy.

We've certainly got value for $ out of BK. Remember the initial outcry that we'd wasted money on an old crock who would probably break down after 4 -5 games.
