Ferguson to miss Raiders trialsThe Canberra Raiders have been dealt a blow ahead of their trial match period, with news today that Blake Ferguson will be unavailable for both trials, due to a break in his finger which he sustained at training on Wednesday.
The good news for Ferguson and the team is that he will be available for round one against his former side for Cronulla, as he will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair the fracture to his left ring finger.
Ferguson said he was bitterly disappointed to be missing the two Raiders trial matches, but said he was still the fittest he’d been for a number of seasons.
“It’s very frustrating to come so close to kick-off and have to miss both trials but it’s something I have to get past and make sure I’m ready to go for round one,” Ferguson said. “It’s a shame because it’s the fittest I’ve been for a few years and I was really keen to get on the field, but I’ll just have to wait a couple more weeks now.”
