There are fears for Ethan Lowes immediate playing career with the North Queensland back-rower being ruled out for the rest of the NRL finals series with a spinal cord injury.It had emerged before the Cowboys home sudden-death semi-final against Brisbane on Friday night that Lowe had been struggling with a neck complaint from last weeks qualifying final loss to Melbourne.But Cowboys coach Paul Green still surprised a big media contingent in Townsville on Thursday when he revealed the full extent of Lowes injury.Ethan Lowes season is finished, he said.Unfortunately, he has injured his spinal cord. As you can imagine, it is pretty serious and pretty sensitive.Outside of that, I cant comment too much. Its really devastating.Green was saying little when pressed further on Lowes injury or even how it had occurred during the Storm defeat.As a I said, due to the nature of the injury and the sensitivity surrounding it, I am not going to comment any further, Green said.The 25-year-old Lowe had enjoyed a breakout year in 2016, at one stage earning a Queensland State of Origin 18th man call-up.He had played every game - all 25 - this season, averaging 14 hit-ups, 33 tackles and more than 120m per match.The Cowboys will be hoping Lowe can follow in the footsteps of fellow North Queensland forward James Tamou who made a successful recovery last year from a serious neck injury.Coen Hess, just 20, will start in the back row for Lowe with 2015 premiership interchange player John Asiata added to the bench.Queensland under-20 and Junior Kangaroo rep Hess has played just six games this season but that has included the past four for the Cowboys.His development pathway has been good, Green said of Hess.He has handled every step up he has been given. Its a great opportunity for him on a big occasion.But he has done a good job for us at the back end of the season.Green was just as comfortable adding Asiata to his squad.John has played in some big games, he said.He was a part of our grand final team. Weve got full confidence in those boys (Asiata, Hess).Green is sweating on winger Antonio Winterstein (ribs) but had earlier officially ruled out centre Kane Linnett (hamstring).He confirmed eight-game player Javid Bowen would run out in the grand final re-match for Linnett.Indians Jerseys 2020 .

That was a real breakthrough for me to be able to win that one. The 100 back was an event that comes a little bit more natural. Thhe 200 back is an event I really have to dig deep for, so this one means a little bit more to me.ddddddddddddMurphy became the third American man in the last five Olympics to take both races. Aaron Peirsol pulled off the sweep at Athens in 2004, and Lenny Krayzelburg claimed both golds at the 2000 Sydney Games.Australias Mitch Larkin grabbed the silver Thursday in 1:53.96, just ahead of Russias Evgeny Rylov with the bronze in 1:53.97.American?Jacob Pebley finished fifth.The Associate Press contributed to this report.
