Knights star Kalyn Ponga has commenced treatment on a calf injury suffered a training.
The club reported on Friday that their main man’s injury was calf-related but “not expected to be serious”.
Meanwhile, Sea Eagle Tom Trbojevic flew to the USA on Saturday to begin work with world renowned reconditioning specialist Bill Knowles.
The Sea Eagles reported on Thursday that Trbojevic will spend two weeks in Philadelphia with Knowles, who is currently working with Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen as he continues his recovery from a fractured kneecap suffered in July.
Knowles will work on reconditioning Trbojevic’s body over 20 sessions in 10 days, with particular emphasis on his hamstrings.
Trbojevic suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain at training in December with a two-month recovery period expected. The star fullback was otherwise progressing well from shoulder surgery that cut his 2022 season short and remains on track for the season opener against the Bulldogs on March 4.
