City lock Reni Maitua and Country centre Timana Tahu have been ruled out of Thursday's City-Country clash to be played at Coffs Harbour.
The out of form Maitua is out due to a hip flexor injury giving Cronulla's Reece Williams his first representative jersey. At the moment Williams is a direct swap with Maitua, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Anthony Watmough is called into the starting side.
City has added Gold Coast back-rower Mark Minichiello as the 18th man.
Country have lost the services of centre Timana Tahu due to a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Canberra speedster Phil Graham. It's the first time in a long-time the Raiders have had a representative player at NSW level.
The credability of the City-Country concept has already come under fire with the match being scheduled for Thursday and with the exception of 1-2 positions it is no trial whatsoever for State of Origin selection.
Australian Test players Matt King, Jamie Lyon, Andrew Ryan, Nathan Hindmarsh, Willie Mason, Brent Kite, Luke Bailey, Steve Simpson and Anthony Tupou weren't eligible for selection after playing in the Test match two weeks ago while Mark O'Meley and Matt Cooper weren't considered due to injury.
Cronulla players Lance Thompson, Paul Gallen, Williams, Ben Pomeroy Brett Kimmorley, Greg Bird and Luke Douglas all have to play tonight against Newcastle's Kurt Gidley, Danny Buderus and Clint Newton before making the trip up the Pacific Hwy from the Hunter to Coffs Harbour.
