UPDATED FOR FINALS WEEK 4: (Tuesday October 1, 2013)
TEAMS LISTED FOR FINALS WEEK 4 HERE
We will not be updating team injury lists on this page anymore - check out the Team Analysis Article every Tuesday during the Finals for Injury Information.
GF TIPS AND LATE MAIL Thursday
IMPORTANT: All Late Mail from Late Wednesday onwards goes into the Tipping Preview (Read it here)
By W D Nicolson Follow @NRLTweet
We have once again sourced together a pre-season Injured List and will update it throughout the 2013 NRL Premiership.
With the season under-way - if you can help us with any injuries that should be listed - just email, tweet us or comment below.
The NRL Injured List is updated regularly - so bookmark this page and do yourself a big favour for the rest of the season.
Our sources are Official NRL Club Sites (links available below for their official injury list), mainstream media (including the outstanding Late Mail in the Sydney Morning Herald) and most importantly - our weekly game observations - which set this list apart from anything else you can find.
The Injured/Suspended List for each team is split into two Categories:
DOUBTS
Means a player could play this coming Round but don't be shocked if they don't due to a niggling injury or recently diagnosed 'short term' injury.
OUT
Means a player is extremely unlikely to play this week or next week due to long term injury/suspension, but beware players sometimes do return out of nowhere. We have added ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival - back in First Grade) for 2013 but please it is a GUIDE, not an iron clad date of return.
NOTE: Players who are listed as 'DOUBTS' may have actually played the previous round but if they are still thought to be carrying an injury they will remain on the DOUBT list.
This Injury List will be updated regularly during each week of the season, making it an invaluable Fantasy and Tipping Tool alongside our Weekly NRL Previews once again.
Remember if you want game-specific Late Mail every week, then check out our Round Previews Every Wednesday and they are updated with all the very latest Late Mail on Friday.

Bench: I De Gois, C Heighington, B Gibbs, A Tupou, B Ross.
# Team Changes: The Sharks lose Carney to his hamstring strain - he was a passenger late in the win over the Cowboys so even if they beat Manly - he may not be fit for the Bunnies in two weeks time. Lewis goes to five-eighth though he may split time with Graham in the halves. Bukuya starts in the second row and Gibbs joins the bench with Ross 18th man. Fifita has a knee problem and is no certainty at this stage.

Bench: D Taylor, L Bailey, J Dowling, M Srama, M Ioane.
[Team Changes: Myles is next to no chance after damaging ankle ligaments against the Roosters last weekend - but the Titans have named him anyway. Ioane comes onto the bench as cover. Kelly aggravated his sternum injury but will play with the game being a knockout match and Atkins and Michaels hold their spots with Gordon at fullback again. ]
FINALS WEEK 2 TEAM: CONFIRMED
MAN: B Stewart, J Taufua, J Lyon (c), S Matai, D Williams, K Foran, D Cherry-Evans, B Lawrence, M Ballin, B Kite, A Watmough, J Horo, G Stewart.
Bench: R Fa'aoso, J Buhrer, T Symonds, G Rose, P Hiku, J Hasson, D Gower.
# Team Changes: Manly name Brett Stewart but he remains touch and go with a bad hamstring strain suffered a few weeks ago. Hiku will deputise if Stewart can't play. Buhrer returned last weekend from a rib injury, while James Hasson and David Gower join the bench as cover for any of his forwards including Watmough who will play despite a knee injury and Fa'aoso who had a trip to Disneyland against the Chooks.
+ Injured List: A Watmough (Knee - Likely), D Williams (Back - Likely), B Kite (Arm - Likely), S Matai (Hand - Likely), T Symonds (Thumb - Likely), B Lawrence (Back - Likely), J Buhrer (Ribs - Likely), R Fa'aoso (Head - Likely), B Stewart (Hamstring - Unlikely).

Bench: J Ryles, T Harris, J McLean, K Bromwich, B Finch.
# Team Changes: The Storm stick with Widdop at five-eighth with Finch named as 18th man but unlikely to play - even if he overcomes his sternum injury. It looks like Waqa will be given until later in the week to get the all clear but the signs are good he's not seriously hurt after his nasty fall against Souths.
+ Injured List: S Waqa (Neck - Likely), G Widdop (Hip - Likely), B Finch (Sternum - Unlikely), M Blair (Neck - Likely) J Ryles (Knee - Likely), K Proctor (Knee - Likely), L Setu (Calf - Unlikely), J Sa'u (Foot - Unlikely), J Moors (Knee - Likely in NSW Cup).

Bench: M Hilder, C Houston, N Costigan, A McKinnon.
# Team Changes: No changes for the Knights. They may add Adam Cuthbertson and Craig Gower to the travelling team for the trip to Melbourne but they may not force their way into the team. McManus should be okay after a head knock early against the Bulldogs. Mullen's ankle is still an issue but he'll play.
+ Injured List: J McManus (Head - Likely), J Smith (Sternum - Likely), B Scott (Foot - Likely), D Buderus (Back - Likely), J Mullen (Ankle/Knee - Likely), D Fa'alogo (Knee - Likely), A Cuthbertson (Neck - Unlikely), C Gower (Neck - Unlikely).

Bench: A McKinnon, C Houston, N Costigan, D Fa'alogo.
[Team Changes: Gidley's foot injury ends his season so Roberts comes back in at halfback and it sounds like Hilder may be added to the bench as cover for Buderus despite not being named. McKinnon back to the bench with Smith named at lock - but the veteran lock is no certainty. ]
Bench: J Hodges, T Sims, S Bolton, J Taumalolo, A Sims.
# Team Changes: Scott has been named but remains a long shot to play with a broken finger from Round 25. If he misses then Bolton will start and Ashton Sims will join the bench. Taumalolo has retained his spot on the bench after a strong showing in Round 26. Hodges is expected to play significant time at hooker like he did last week, with Kostjasyn playing in a lock forward role when he returns to the field in the 2nd half.

[Team Changes: Hayne is not named but remains a slim chance if he wants a run before the World Cup... Mullaney dropped back to NSW Cup with Roberts named in the centres and Maitua at five-eighth. MoiMoi named at prop on this team list despite being named in second row for Monday's game and playing their for the last month. Harrison joins the bench. ]

FINALS WEEK 1 TEAM: CONFIRMED
SYD: A Minichiello, D Tupou, M Jennings, S Kenny-Dowall, R Tuivasa-Sheck, J Maloney, M Pearce (c), J Waerea-Hargreaves (Suspended), J Friend, S Moa, M Aubusson, SB Williams, FP Nuuausala.
Bench: D Mortimer, A Guerra, I Liu, D Napa, L O'Donnell, M Kennedy.
# Team Changes: Just like that the Roosters get some depth back... downside is they lost Waerea-Hargreaves for one match for elbowing but Aubusson, Tuivasa-Sheck and O'Donnell are all set to return to the team that beat the Rabbitohs for the Minor Premiership. O'Donnell and Kennedy are listed as 18th and 19th men but with JWH is out, O'Donnell will almost certainly start, while Kennedy could force Liu or Napa off the bench. Cordner is the only star not available yet due to injury with a Grand Final return probably his best chance of playing again in 2013.
+ Injured List: A Minichiello (Knee - Likely), R Tuivasa-Sheck (Ankle - Likely), M Kennedy (Leg - Likely), M Aubusson (Head - Likely), B Cordner (Ankle - Unlikely).

[Team Changes: Nielsen named to return from a leg injury, as is Ropati who has a hamstring concern. Laumape and the newly launched SS Taukeiaho are the cover on the bench. ]

Bench: D Halatau, M Taupau, S Kasiano, T Browne, L Burr.
[Team Changes: Barba is not named... will he play? Who knows. Kasiano returns from an ankle injury and will come off the bench. Burr is moved to 18th man. Eastwood not named either. ]
FINALS WEEK 2 TEAM: CONFIRMED
CRO: M Gordon, S Feki, B Pomeroy, J Wright, B Ryan, L Lewis, J Robson, A Fifita, J Morris, S Tagataese, J Bukuya, W Graham, P Gallen (c).
Bench: I De Gois, C Heighington, B Gibbs, A Tupou, B Ross.
# Team Changes: The Sharks lose Carney to his hamstring strain - he was a passenger late in the win over the Cowboys so even if they beat Manly - he may not be fit for the Bunnies in two weeks time. Lewis goes to five-eighth though he may split time with Graham in the halves. Bukuya starts in the second row and Gibbs joins the bench with Ross 18th man. Fifita has a knee problem and is no certainty at this stage.
+ Injured List: T Carney (Hamstring - Unlikely), L Lewis (Shoulder - Likely), A Fifita (Calf - Likely), W Graham (Shoulder - Likely), A Tupou (Leg - Likely).

Bench: D Taylor, L Bailey, J Dowling, M Srama, M Ioane.
[Team Changes: Myles is next to no chance after damaging ankle ligaments against the Roosters last weekend - but the Titans have named him anyway. Ioane comes onto the bench as cover. Kelly aggravated his sternum injury but will play with the game being a knockout match and Atkins and Michaels hold their spots with Gordon at fullback again. ]
FINALS WEEK 2 TEAM: CONFIRMED
MAN: B Stewart, J Taufua, J Lyon (c), S Matai, D Williams, K Foran, D Cherry-Evans, B Lawrence, M Ballin, B Kite, A Watmough, J Horo, G Stewart.
Bench: R Fa'aoso, J Buhrer, T Symonds, G Rose, P Hiku, J Hasson, D Gower.
# Team Changes: Manly name Brett Stewart but he remains touch and go with a bad hamstring strain suffered a few weeks ago. Hiku will deputise if Stewart can't play. Buhrer returned last weekend from a rib injury, while James Hasson and David Gower join the bench as cover for any of his forwards including Watmough who will play despite a knee injury and Fa'aoso who had a trip to Disneyland against the Chooks.
+ Injured List: A Watmough (Knee - Likely), D Williams (Back - Likely), B Kite (Arm - Likely), S Matai (Hand - Likely), T Symonds (Thumb - Likely), B Lawrence (Back - Likely), J Buhrer (Ribs - Likely), R Fa'aoso (Head - Likely), B Stewart (Hamstring - Unlikely).

Bench: R Fa'aoso, J Hasson, J Sene-Lefao, G Rose.

Bench: J Ryles, T Harris, J McLean, K Bromwich, B Finch.
# Team Changes: The Storm stick with Widdop at five-eighth with Finch named as 18th man but unlikely to play - even if he overcomes his sternum injury. It looks like Waqa will be given until later in the week to get the all clear but the signs are good he's not seriously hurt after his nasty fall against Souths.
+ Injured List: S Waqa (Neck - Likely), G Widdop (Hip - Likely), B Finch (Sternum - Unlikely), M Blair (Neck - Likely) J Ryles (Knee - Likely), K Proctor (Knee - Likely), L Setu (Calf - Unlikely), J Sa'u (Foot - Unlikely), J Moors (Knee - Likely in NSW Cup).

Bench: M Hilder, C Houston, N Costigan, A McKinnon.
# Team Changes: No changes for the Knights. They may add Adam Cuthbertson and Craig Gower to the travelling team for the trip to Melbourne but they may not force their way into the team. McManus should be okay after a head knock early against the Bulldogs. Mullen's ankle is still an issue but he'll play.
+ Injured List: J McManus (Head - Likely), J Smith (Sternum - Likely), B Scott (Foot - Likely), D Buderus (Back - Likely), J Mullen (Ankle/Knee - Likely), D Fa'alogo (Knee - Likely), A Cuthbertson (Neck - Unlikely), C Gower (Neck - Unlikely).

Bench: A McKinnon, C Houston, N Costigan, D Fa'alogo.
[Team Changes: Gidley's foot injury ends his season so Roberts comes back in at halfback and it sounds like Hilder may be added to the bench as cover for Buderus despite not being named. McKinnon back to the bench with Smith named at lock - but the veteran lock is no certainty. ]

# Team Changes: Scott has been named but remains a long shot to play with a broken finger from Round 25. If he misses then Bolton will start and Ashton Sims will join the bench. Taumalolo has retained his spot on the bench after a strong showing in Round 26. Hodges is expected to play significant time at hooker like he did last week, with Kostjasyn playing in a lock forward role when he returns to the field in the 2nd half.

Bench: D Mortimer, A Guerra, I Liu, D Napa, L O'Donnell, M Kennedy.
# Team Changes: Just like that the Roosters get some depth back... downside is they lost Waerea-Hargreaves for one match for elbowing but Aubusson, Tuivasa-Sheck and O'Donnell are all set to return to the team that beat the Rabbitohs for the Minor Premiership. O'Donnell and Kennedy are listed as 18th and 19th men but with JWH is out, O'Donnell will almost certainly start, while Kennedy could force Liu or Napa off the bench. Cordner is the only star not available yet due to injury with a Grand Final return probably his best chance of playing again in 2013.

Review all of the voting results from 2012 right here |
Ben Barba was Top Dog in 2013 in the @NRLTweet Player of the Year Awards - can he repeat as champion?
Barba finished with 83 votes after the regular season, to beat North Queensland pair Matthew Bowen and Johnathan Thurston for the 2013 Award.
He joins Benji Marshall (2011) and Todd Carney (2010) as winners of this award that is decided by the best judges in the business - people who actually watch the games with no agenda and no bias.
Two voters per game using a 4-2-1 system = the best way of judging the Best of the Best in Rugby League.
The Voting Panel for the 2012 @NRLTweet POTY (won by Ben Barba) and @NRLTweet Player of September (won by Cooper Cronk) were:

If you enjoyed our 3 year run - you can check out the archive of all 128 Episodes on iTunes here and we thank you for listening.
There is a slim chance some of the team may reappear on the airwaves in 2013 but it will not be under the NOT The Footy Show banner.
Thanks again for your support and taking time to listen from 2010-12.
