Just came through on ch 9 that he won't start preseason training until after the Christmas break...
Hope he can at least start the season on time. Its hard to tell what the injury to White cost us because he may not be in Wiliams immediate plans but any injury to Hardwick will put a strain on our backline. Suddenly the acquisition of Pickett and the recovery(fingers crossed) of Wilson are starting to look more important.

More than likely just a clean and scrape...........a lot of players have similar ops this time of year........

I would have to agree, we must remember that his knee was pretty bad after the game against the Kangaroos earlier this year, too come back as soon as he did it was pretty amazing.
I don't think that a reduced pre-season for Damian will hurt him too much, he will still keep himself pretty fit. Also a reduced pre-season will probably work better for him so he can run out the full season next year.

Sounds minor, and as we all know, we have plenty of flankers to fill in for him.
