NORTH Ballarat might have as few as six players from last year’s premiership line-up to face East Perth in the opening round of the Foxtel Cup in Perth on Saturday.
Captain Marc Greig, Orren Stephenson, Nick Peters, Derick Micallef, and North Melbourne listed Luke Delaney and Brayden Norris are the only 2010 grand final players still on the Selkirk Roosters’ list with a clean bill of health.
Head coach Gerard FitzGerald yesterday had the headache of being uncertain whether onballer Myles Sewell, defenders Matt Tyler and Matt Sharkey will be fit, while Nick Couch (ankle), Marcus White (shoulder) and Bill Driscoll (abdomen) have already been ruled out with medium to long-term injuries.
Sewell is under a cloud after getting a corked leg against Geelong in a practice match on Saturday, while Sharkey pulled up from that game with ankle soreness.
