Is what i am reading correct is Mile really an Indefinate injury? Thats a big loss if so!
Given we have so many long term injuries is it possible to have some guest players? Sort of like in the AFL if you have a long term injury you can bring someone in from the rookie or top up list

ingo stokes bitter rivalry
By Christian Nicolussi
August 22, 2008
MEDIA mogul John Singleton likens the A-League grudge between Sydney FC and Central Coast to that of bitter league rivals Manly and Western Suburbs in the 1970s.
"Central Coast work on a minimum budget, yet whenever they get a good player Sydney try to knock them off," said Singleton, on the eve of the first showdown between Sydney and the Mariners on Saturday night at Bluetongue Stadium.
"Sydney poached John Aloisi from us. They tried poaching our coach (Lawrie McKinna). The Central Coast has just signed goalkeeper Mark Bosnich for seven weeks, but don't be surprised if Sydney turn around and throw $1 million at him."
Singleton loves the fact that the Mariners have exploded to life on the picturesque coastal strip just north of Sydney. He loves the banter with Sydney FC. He thinks it's good for the game.
The two sides are both coming off season-opening round draws.
Singleton hopes the Mariners will prevail on Saturday night.
They have beaten Sydney just once in four games at Gosford.
Singleton pumped $1 million into the Mariners when they first started out, as did his good mate Frank Lowy.
Central Coast were the eighth and final team to be admitted to the new A-League.
"And now they have one of the best followings in the country. Walk down the street and you'll see Mariners flags everywhere," Singleton said.
McKinna recalls people asking him where the Central Coast was when he said he was moving to the region in 2005.
"We had 20 players wearing the same shirts and shorts for a training session in March of 2005 at Mingara and people were asking, 'who are they?"' McKinna said.
"Now we get thousands of people turning out for our fan days. I went back home to Scotland a few months ago to watch Kilmarnock and I had people coming up to me and asking me about the Mariners."
For all the hype off the pitch, McKinna is also heavily devoted to churning out the results on the ground.
He knows Sydney will be tough. They have a roster every coach in the A-League would die for.
Zippy striker Alex Brosque and returning Olyroo Mark Bridge were just two of the players he named as big threats.
Brosque, who steps out for his first game of the season after missing the opener against Melbourne through suspension, rates Bluetongue Stadium one of the toughest venues to secure three competition points.
He recalled a funny sign referring to his former teammate Ufuk Talay.
Brosque also enjoyed the pre-season hit-out between the two sides which attracted more than 7000 people.
"Every time we play the Mariners it's always tough and physical but always produces some goals," said Brosque, who was part of the come-from-behind 5-4 victory last year.
"Bluetongue is a great pitch for football and the crowd is really vocal which lifts the local side.
"I thought we put in a good effort last weekend against Melbourne when we were under-manned and under-strength.
"We've got a few players returning this week, including myself, Mark Bridge, Stuart Musialik and Dez Giraldi.
"We've still got a few more players to come back, but after last weekend's results, Kossie (coach John Kosmina) said there is nobody we should fear, including the Central Coast."
Singo would disagree
