Quote: Gotcha "Furner was just simply non committal. Nothing wrong with that. He doesn’t know what condition Merrin will arrive back in, so why put pressure on to state he will play.'"
That's what I was thinking, it's a long flight back and expecting a guy to be mentally and physically ready to play an intense game, like 48 hours later is asking a lot, Merrin may put his hand up and say he is ready to play, I recently returned from a 16 hour flight(s) and could hardly get my work shoes on the day after, took full 24 hours before lower legs where back to normal, I am a bit older and not a proffestional athlete but he will still suffer a bit, never mind getting nutrition right for a game of RL. Why risk him.
