He's going well. I know it sounds dramatic - a knee infection, in hospital, on a drip - but I went to visit him in hospital this morning and he was in good spirits. The improvement in just 24 hours has been amazing and just talking to Brett, he's certain he'll be turning out on Thursday.

He just keeps coming back, so I've got no doubt he'll play as long as he wants and he's got the hunger. He just loves it.

I know he's quite keen to play, so that's what they'll have to work out.
