Best's niggle is the latest setback in a stop-start campaign as he's also battled through groin and calf injuries earlier in the season. Newcastle's news comes after Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said their hopes of victory will rest on halfback Ethan Sanders' kicking game. "It (kicking game) is important in every game, but when you're playing in wet, slippery conditions it is important," Stuart said. "You're going to play a little bit of a different style of game, but we've seen the forecast. "It was meant to be very windy and now it's probably forecasted not as much wind, but it's going to be wet here."
