Fowler worries for North Queensland in A-League
Fowler
Former England and Liverpool forward Robbie Fowler refused to play in North Queensland's 1-1 draw against Brisbane after being informed he would be starting the match on the bench.
 The A-League's marquee signing will meet Monday with team officials in an effort to resolve an apparent impasse that also reportedly involves his family.
 Fowler's decision was made after coach Ian Ferguson announced a change in formation against Brisbane  with Dyron Daal starting as a lone striker and Fowler to be brought off the bench as an impact player with a half-hour remaining.
 Ferguson seemed less optimistic about Fowler staying with the Fury than Matheson.
 "Ultimately it will be Fowler's decision about his future at the club. It's really up to Robbie."
 Fowler has scored nine goals this season for the ninth-place Fury. He spent the match against the Roar sitting in the stands at the Townsville stadium.
 Speculation has escalated that the 34-year-old Fowler  the team's captain  is preparing to walk out on the club because his wife has failed to settle in North Queensland.
 Fowler told English newspaper The Daily Mail this week that his wife is finding it tough adjusting in Townsville  the regional northern Australian city where the Fury is based.
 "The kids are very adaptable to where they are  but my wife still needs a bit of convincing " he said. "It's not like back at home where there's more stuff to do and more families that we know  so she's still adjusting."
