Tim Cathalina restarted training this week following his rehab. He's worked hard, done a lot of ball work and hopefully he'll push hard for a place.

Marlon Broomes is now nearly three weeks into his injury. He's running hard and doing kicking patterns and I'd say he's slightly ahead of schedule. He could be back the week after next and now we're just building up his ball work.

Ash Taylor and Alan Mahon are both doing fine and if anything they're ahead of schedule. Alan had his review with the specialist earlier this week and hopefully he'll now be off his sticks. Ash is halfway through his five week review so hopefully in two and a half weeks he'll be off his sticks too. We've had a lot of players on crutches recently, in fact we've run out! We're having to improvise and share them!

Conor Roberts is off his crutches but still has a boot on his foot. He went to see a specialist earlier this week so should now be progressing to weight bearing without a boot. However, Joe Conchie took his crutches when he did his medial collateral ligament and he's looking at being out for four to six weeks.

Finally, Dale Jennings had an MRI scan earlier in the week so we should now have a better idea of exactly what's going on inside his knee.

The lads are all really good patients and do what they're told. I've never had a problem with players wanting to do rehab as they all want to be fit again. Sometimes some want to do a little bit more, so you've just got to make sure you keep your eye on them and that they don't do too much.

That's all for this week.
