Surely a beat-up. State of Origin is so bad for this. The papers feel as though they've got to keep people talking about it every day of the lead-up so they'll invent injuries.
United has played 2 games in 25 days, they should be fresh as

He only had what 33 & 10 and hit the game winner in their last game? Yeah injured.
Lol he could have got injured in practice recently
Boone injured his calf at recovery session. Is 75/25 to play. If he does he wont be in perfect condition.

Almost always foxing. Creates another news angle in the lead-up.
Sure is. Minor ankle injury.

Considering how long it's been since the last round finished the league needs all the media it can muster. Apart from you diehards 90% of people have forgotten the NBL is still going!

It's such a shame that we're seeing fake news everywhere. You need accurate information leading into a game, won't someone think of the punters?

Foxing for sure.
Years ago the Australian cricket team did it with Shane Warne and I remember a classic "groin strain" that Wayne Carey had. I think they made that up so one commenter could say "Wayne Carey's groin has been on everyone's lips this week"

There was a recent news piece that was absolutely laughable. Tai Wesley was like "oh it's just so bad not having a game since last week. We feel so flat!"
Dude is a BAAAD actor. They're clearly a bit worried if they've resorted to fake injuries and tales of feeling flat and lethargic. They'd love for Adelaide to get cocky and try to drive straight for Boone only to get blocked. This will make it even sweeter if we win game 1.
If this was still regular season would it be news. Can guarantee Joey will be preparing that he's 100%. Who's it really fooling. Waiting for flu or gastro to go through team next.
