“Harrison trained really well last week, but given the two six-day turnarounds and the fact he was coming off a hamstring strain prior to the bye, we made the decision to manage him on the weekend,” Griffith said. “He completed a match-load session on the weekend and will integrate into full training this week to be available for Round 20.”

“CJ had an incident with his calf during the game and was unable to weight bear at that stage,” Griffith said. “Scans have cleared him of any damage to his Achilles or calf, but they did confirm a rupture to his plantaris tendon. “Fortunately, it’s something we have seen before. We’ll see how he pulls up and then determine his level of integration into training this week which will determine his availability.”

“Jack had someone fall on his knee during the VFL game,” Griffith said. “He was unable to finish the match but has pulled up well and we’ll assess his availability later in the week once we complete our main training session.”

“Xavier has had a really strong couple of weeks of training,” Griffith said. “He’ll now integrate into full training this week, with the plan to have him return on managed minutes next week.”

“Daniel received a knock late in the game, which caused him some discomfort and pain with breathing and movement of his upper body,” Griffith said. “He had imaging done at the hospital which confirmed that he has a small crack in one of his ribs. “We’ll assess his availability based on his pain and function over the coming weeks.”

“Jack has been working incredibly hard with our high performance and medical team to return from his Achilles surgery that he had earlier this year,” Griffith said. “Unfortunately, while working through his rehab from that surgery, Jack has also had a lower back concern, which is something that he’s managed over the last couple of seasons. “As a result of that lower back pain, he’s been progressing slower through his post-surgery rehab program. “Pleasingly, he has been able to progress from a strength and movement perspective through his lower back, which has now allowed him to continue through his Achilles rehab. “Jack has worked incredibly hard to get on top of both of these injuries and it’s really pleasing that he’s now starting to see some progression, with the hope to see more soon.”

“You never want to see an incident in our game, like what we saw with Brody on Monday,” Richardson said. “Brody is in the very best of care and was able to undergo surgery last night, which, thankfully, went as planned. “Our primary focus right now is supporting Brody, his partner Polly and their family through his recovery, while ensuring his return to full health.”

“Jai is recovering well from his knee reconstruction and is in the early phases of his program, which is predominately focused on getting his range of motion back and beginning strength work,” Griffith said.

“Andy went in for surgery today following his ACL injury,” Griffith said. “Once he recovers from that surgery, we’ll begin to progress him through the first stages of his knee rehab.”
