Taipans Injury Updates - Round 9

The CQUniversity Cairns Taipans announce that Kouat Noi will not play tomorrow against the Illawarra Hawks, due to a flare-up in his right knee in his return to training.
 
Following nine days in isolation, Noi’s knee has been aggravated as training loads have increased and Taipans medical staff are taking a cautious approach at this stage of the season.
 
Noi tore his posterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in January last year and was ruled out for 12 weeks as a result.
 
The 24-year-old forward will join Scott Machado and Mirko Djeric on the sidelines, with Taipans training player Robbie Heath suiting up. 

The Taipans host the Hawks tomorrow afternoon at the Cairns Convention Centre, 4:30pm.
