I happened to check the NBL injury report section the other day, but they were still showing items from very early in the off-season.

Others might be able to extend/clarify the following. Keep in mind that clubs will talk up injuries to out-fox opposition teams even if a player is likely to suit when it comes to the tip off.

Ballinger - out a few more weeks; ankle
Harvey - out first game or so; hand
Knight - out three weeks
Schenscher - out for a while
Hinder - out for the season
Campbell - bit sketchy; might be one of those ones that comes good at game time, but perhaps not at his age
Dann - something; rumoured to be him and Iti that sit out for Bogut
Henry - out six weeks
Wilkinson - minor pec injury which isn't expected to stop him playing
Burston - made it back last pre-season game, is he 100%
Petrie - as above?

DJ Rod was saying just recently that a host of other Crocs could be nursing injuries also - Cedar, Blanchfield, Mims, etc?

Any more?

For the Snakes -

Crosswhite - still not ok after calf strain. Probably a non-starter for Rnd1

Loughton - ongoing. Will probably never be back to full strength, and it will come down to managing the problem. Will miss the first 3 to 5 rounds.

Wilson - torn pec. Will play but with reduced time.

Peach is good to go but will be eased in
Harvey still in a cast
Hudson jarred / hyperextended a knee yesterday but should be good to go

Mims - Minor pectoral (or abdominal?) tear. Will play.

Gill - "sore" knee. No formal diagnosis. Will play.

Cedar - Severe hip bruise. Will play.

Blanchfield - Not sure. Minor injury. Will play.

Mitch Norton - broken foot. Another couple of months.

Vanderjagt - Club reports say he will struggle to pass routine fitness & medical (seriously). May not suit up in round 1.

Ben Allen - General softness & weak heart. Will play.
