Sam Banks
Concussion, Test
"He's done really well, Banksy. He's got through all his protocols well. He's just got to get through training on Wednesday.
"Full contact training with no symptoms and he should be available for playing this weekend, if the coaches choose to select him."
Josh Smillie
Hamstring, Test
"Like last week, Smil's got through a good body of work.
"He'll continue to train and we'll make him available for selection this week. We will leave it up to the coaches to have the conversation at the table."
Liam Fawcett
Concussion, 1-2 weeks
"Unfortunately for Liam, he sustained a broken nose and was concussed (in the VFL).
"He'll go through the same protocols as what Sam Banks did (over) the last couple of weeks."
Hugo Ralphsmith
Hamstring, Test
"As it stands, Hugo is available for selection this week, he's still got to get through another training session.
"If he gets through that, he'll be a discussion at the table with the coaches later."
Dion Prestia
Achilles, 2-4 weeks
"He's doing well. There's no real update on where he's at.
"He's getting through quite well. He's trying to push things as quick as he can. Unfortunately, we have to hold Dion back from himself sometimes."
Judson Clarke
ACL, 3-6 weeks
"Judson Clarke will get through his first full week of training this week, with no yellow hat on (no contact). He'll be full contact training.
"We'll do a few weeks of that and he should be available for selection towards the end of April."
Mykelti Lefau, Tylar Young
ACLs, TBC
"We're seeing Mykelti and Youngy join into training with the yellow hat on.
"They're getting through everything, no contact."
Taj Hotton
ACL, TBC
"Taj is not too far off where those two are at, as well.
"He's doing quite well. He's excited."
Josh Gibcus
ACL, TBC
"He's starting to get into a few football drills.
"He's quite a complex case in that he's had that hamstring injury last year, followed by an ACL injury this year.
"He's just taking a little bit more time to respond to his training. But once he is, I'm sure we'll get him out there.
"I'm sure the fans don't want to see him re-hurt, so we will make sure we look after him."
