globalrugbyleague - Fri, 09 May 2008 18:35:00 GMTKiwi five-eighth Ben Roberts has been ruled out of Friday’s centenary test match against Australia.
It's believed that some New Zealand fans may need counselling.
The 22-year-old Canterbury Bulldogs star picked up a hamstring injury on Thursday night but extensive physiotherapy proved unsuccessful in healing it in time.
In other bad news for the 2005 Tri-Nations champions, Australian five-eighth Jonathan Thurston has passed a fitness test on an injured ankle and is expected to play.
The world of go-karting is still in disbelief that Storm halfback Cooper Cronk remains on standby for the Kangaroos.
GRL understands tonight's game could be a sell-out if a magic genie jumps out of a bottle and grants the organisers one wish.
