“Jake rolled his ankle just before three quarter time. He was able to get back out on the field and continue to play but then rolled it again close to the end of the game,” Griffith said. “With a short turnaround, it's just about managing that ankle from a swelling and function perspective, and we’ll look to progress him each day, with the hope for him to be available this week.”

“Steven saw the specialist on Saturday, and they were really happy with how he has recovered,” Griffith said. “The advice was that they'd be comfortable with him integrating into some training this week. “He'll look to main train on Thursday and then we'll determine his return to play from that session.”

“He’s had a great couple of weeks of training, both with intent and purpose,” Griffith said. “He'll integrate into main training this week with the look to be available for this weekend's game”

“Unfortunately for Marty in the last quarter he went to push off and felt pain in his calf. He's got a high-grade gastrocnemius strain” Griffith said. “Once he starts to recover and function has improved, we’ll have more of a framework on his return in the coming days.”

“Unfortunately for Caleb he spent a little bit of time in hospital with that infection,” Griffith said. “Now it's all about the wound healing component. It's unlikely he'll be available for this weekend, but we'll continue to progress him each day as his pain and function tolerates.”

“Unfortunately for Matt in that collision he fractured one of the bones in his hand. He had a consult with the surgeon yesterday and has had surgery today,” Griffith said. “He'll progress as quickly as the wound healing allows. We've dealt with some of those injuries in the past, so hopefully we'll see Matt back on the training track soon.”

“Jake and Judd both integrated into a little bit of training last week,” Griffith said. “Jake will be fully training this week in order to complete a match-load conditioning session on the weekend and is looking to be available from next week. “Judd is just a week behind him, so he'll progress into some more training this week and continue to work through his max-velocity exposures and skill-based exposures. He’ll hopefully be available in the coming weeks”

“Koltyn’s returned to running and some skill-based conditioning,” Griffith said. “He's just in a reloading phase and reconditioning phase at the moment. He'll look to start integrating into skills end of this week and next week to then hopefully be available in the coming weeks.”

“Jai’s returned to some straight line running this week and he'll get a little bit of skills in too,” Griffith said. “We'll look to progress him over the coming weeks’ time to fully be available in the next week or so.”

“Unfortunately for Luker he had some illness over the Christmas period, which really compromised his ability to both travel, but then also to do any form of aerobic or physical training. “He's returned to training since that and has recovered really well. Now he's just in a reconditioning phase to ensure that there's no real aggravation of his illness, but also that he's coping with the training intensities that are required for him to play.”

“Shane went to accelerate during match play on Friday, and has unfortunately ruptured his Achilles tendon in the process. “This is an incredibly disappointing outcome for Shane, who was starting to get some real momentum and confidence in his body, following a strong pre-season. “Shane will meet with a surgeon in the coming days, with the view to undergo surgery. From here, we will have a greater understanding of what his recovery timelines will look like. “We will wrap our arms around Shane and fully support him throughout this next period.”

“Unfortunately, scans have confirmed what we all feared, with Andy to miss the season with an injury to his ACL, MCL and PCL,” Richardson said. “This is incredibly disappointing news for Andy, who has had a really strong pre-season. We have been so impressed by his attitude and will to get better, and he was starting to reap the rewards of his hard work. “Andy will undergo surgery in the near future, before beginning to work through his recovery. As a club, we will wrap our arms around him and make sure he is well-supported. “Despite being on the sidelines, we know Andy will still play an important role for us this season, particularly with the positive energy he brings to the club every single day.”
