Someone put a photo up of Shaun Johnson and Stacey returning to Oz recently to complete their quarantine requirements. He won’t be too far away

 

[Tony Martin]

Looks like it’s just Ben Murdoch-Masila, Murch and Shaun Johnson missing. Shaun Johnson and Murch are doing quarantine and Ben Murdoch-Masila is a few weeks away with some sort of injury

Good to see Tohu Harris Back

So can we expect him earlier than mid season? Any updates on injury progress?

How long from running to playing for an ACL?

 

[ramps]

Sironen seems to be the one guy who has bulked up hard and he did seem to get peeled in contact a bit this year. He runs a nice line though so that bulk may help.
Didnt see Murchie so not sure if thats a sign?

Chanel Harris-Tavita looking fit too

For a 17 year old Sifakula looks like a unit.

This is pre season? Where is the black sand! I'm not falling for this trap again.

Can see he's lost a lot of conditioning in that leg, gonna take a while I'd say.

I think there is some conditioning needed elsewhere, unfortunately.

 

[Waipiro]

I think he normally carrys a bit of condition during the season anyway...not a 6 pack guy. Could have packed it on with the op so all in all not bad.

You would think he is at least 5 months away from being ready to play.

Look at the size of the legs on him. Wasn’t he a centre at high school this year? Warriors have him as a lock/utility. Surely it’s lock/prop

 

[Waipiro]

What position does Finau play? development chance?

 

[Waipiro]

Fuller and Corrigan look similar. Anyone know much about them? who has the edge?

Yeah he was centre this year for De La Salle.

They showed a photo of him in the Future Warriors game a couple years ago as a 15 year old playing fullback. Was relatively slim/skinny. No idea how you can put that kind of size on in two years. Looks like a prop.

His legs are twice the size of Finau’s who’s seen as a prop.

Could be like a Bradman best centre?

At the risk of being a Negative Nancy, I remember Nathaniel Roache and Karl Lawton being interviewed about their pre-season returns from ACLs and their comments basically implied that it's expected that a player coming back from an ACL injury will fail their first serious test and have to do a bunch more ie at least a month more rehab - I think the figure (which I've read somewhere) is something like 60-65% of players failing.

I wouldn't count on Harris taking the field until late April and he'll need some time with the Dolphins so I'd say at best he'll be back for the Warriors in Rd 10-11. If he joins the 60-65% needing to be re-rehabbed it may even be late June.
