The key forward will look to return some training next week, with a return to game play expected in Rounds Five or Six.

Josh Eyre is still at least eight weeks away, as the Supplementary Selection Period selection continues his hamstring recovery. The 21-year-old tall has begun a running program, with a view to gradually increase his loads and intensity over the next two to three weeks.

Nathan Murphy has commenced a return to contact program aimed at building confidence in match play scenarios. The 24-year-old is progressing well through this, and his return is still to be confirmed.

Harry DeMattia is continuing his recovery from his finger injury, and is tracking positively through his conditioning block. His return timeframe is still expected to be between Rounds Eight and Eleven.

Dan McStay is continuing to make progression through his reconditioning block without any issues as he recovers from his ACL injury. The key forward’s return to match play is still to be determined.
