Josh Hodgson is unlikely to play in Canberras NRL semi-final against Penrith, however Blake Austin is confident he will return from a hand injury.Hodgson confirmed he has suffered ligament damage and bone bruising when he rolled his ankle in the Raiders qualifying final loss to Cronulla on Saturday.Its not great. Chances wise, its very slim, but Im just going to do everything I can to try and be right for the weekend, Hodgson told reporters on Tuesday.The Raiders hooker, who has missed only one game this season - through suspension - said he would give himself until at least Friday to see how he feels.The final call, though, will be made by coach Ricky Stuart.Im having to play it day by day. It settled down pretty well yesterday, but today its a little bit sore again, he said.Austin however is on track to return from his broken hand, having stepped up his training load.Saturdays semi-final would be the first post-season appearance of his career.Im quite confident Id be able to get plenty done tomorrow and get my head right for the game, Austin said.While Stuart is set to make the call on Hodgson, Austin said he is likely to be the one to decide how much work he can handle with his hand.Youre never going to have full tackling at training. Its never going to stack up going into the game. Itd be about doing as much as I can, he said.Its getting to the point now where its just going to be mental. Its going to be making sure I feel comfortable and ready to head into the game.Hodgson said he had a similar injury when playing for Hull KR in the English Super League, when he took a couple of weeks to recover.Asked what he will need to do to be fit for Saturdays sudden-death clash at GIO Stadium, the in-form rake said hes simply got to run.If I can, Ill be sweet. Itd be devastating (if I cant play). Its been a big year and I always want to be playing every game with the boys and for the team, he said.Kurt Baptiste is his likely replacement at No.9, with Adam Clydsdale potentially coming on to the bench.The 25-year-old was confident he could fill Hodgsons massive shoes.Ill be ready for whatever minutes I have to play, Baptiste said.Ive got a good bunch of blokes around me, Ive got good halves there that can help me out. So Ill confident I can do the job. Penguins Jerseys 2019 .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview.
