Crisis Comes To A Head
Illawarra Mercury
Saturday March 31, 2007
AS if St George Illawarra's Mat Head hasn't got his own anxieties to deal with when he makes his comeback tonight from a serious knee injury against the North Queensland Cowboys at WIN Stadium. Hoping to slot back in quietly and slowly feel his way back into top-flight rugby league, Head has been thrust into a leading role with the withdrawal yesterday through injury of co-captain and five-eighth Ben Hornby - the man who was expected to take a lot of the heat off Head tonight. But with the Dragons in crisis due to injuries, and with many of their stars sidelined, Head's return is timely and a blessing for coach Nathan Brown, but is now an even bigger challenge for the boy from Dapto.
