The Kookaburras head to Armidale tomorrow for a final hit-out before launching their NSW Country Championship campaign, with plenty of questions still requiring answers.

One of the first priorities for coaches Andrew Verrell and Garry Walsh has been deciding on a squad.

That has proved a somewhat complicated process, co-ordinating unavailabilities and injuries, which have continued to plague them.

The latest casualty is Jack Walsh, who popped his shoulder out at training on Wednesday night.

He had to be rushed to hospital and the shoulder manipulated back in.

His injury comes on top of injuries to Jock Cameron and Doug Biffin, which Verrell is expecting will rule them out of tomorrow’s trial.

Ed Churchill and Matt Hannay are also confirmed as unavailable for tomorrow.

The framework of the squad has been mostly settled, although Verrell indicated they may look to bring another back, to cover for Walsh, and lock into the squad.

The major quandary is now juggling the personnel.

That is quite a puzzle, with a couple of options in most

positions .

“We’ve really got to get the balance right,” Verrell said.

In both the forwards and the backs there’s a few combinations for he and Walsh to look at, some of them new, with Elliot Tourle and Richard Perkins both coming back into the squad.

They have been unavailable for the trials to date and provide another couple of forms the backline can take.

“It’ll be a bit different in the backs but that’ll be a good thing,” Verrell said.

He’s hoping to see a bit more from them in attack tomorrow.

Against Newcastle Hunter they didn’t function well in the

midfield.

“We were rather flat-footed,” Verrell said.

It’s one of the issues they looked to address at training on

Wednesday.

Top of the list was the scrum.

“Our timing was terrible,” Verrell said of the game against

Newcastle.

“The set-up was wrong and we were too far away.

“They took the lead on us. We rarely got the hit on them.”
