BRADY Kurtz will miss Pirates' trip to Coventry tonight due to flu.

The Aussie prospect totalled eight paid nine in last night's 60-29 demolition of the Bees.

But he will not line up in the return clash, with rider replacement utilised in his absence.

Poole number one Chris Holder is also unavailable due to his commitments with Polish club Torun.

Wolverhampton's Freddie Lindgren has been booked as guest cover.
