If Pledger is out Tigers have a chance to win. Hudson will really need to step up.

Also if Holmes and Abney are out that gives Sydney a great chance to win. I originally thought that the only chance sydney have of winning is if they take advantage inside however if Holmes and Abney are both out then Townsville fans could be in for a long night!

Teams probably just overstating issues to gain an advantage?

Boucher was listed as an out before the last game on Twitter and then he played a fair few minutes.

Abney hasn't really played all season so him being out shouldn't make much of a difference. He's the last guy off the bench along with Chris Cedar.

Pledger complained of his ankle being sore after last weeks game. Don't think it will be a major issue but may see him play slightly reduced minutes behind Hudson.

Melbourne Tigers may struggle to get the win with Owen Odigie in doubt.

Last article I saw said 50/50 for Pledger. Surely he'll play. Melbourne will be keen to get a win.

Did he arrive at Tullamarine in a wheelchair? If so, then he will surely play.

Nothing in the media reports here in NZ to suggest he won't be playing Most media have focussed on Braswell and Bruton's friendship off the court rather Pledgers ankle so I assume he's all good to go.
