Warrington coach Steve Price says he is having to hold back former Australia international Greg Inglis, whose comeback has again been put on hold.

The 34-year-old centre arrived in England at the turn of the year to take up a one-year contract with the Wolves but sat out the first two rounds of Super League and watched last Sunday’s Challenge Cup tie at Swinton from the sidelines.

Price has confirmed that Inglis, who announced his retirement almost two years ago, will also miss Sunday’s game at Hull.

Yet while he will not put a timeline on the superstar’s debut, he insists there has been no hiccup in GI’s fight to regain fitness.

“He’s training with our squad, doing really well,” Price said at his weekly press conference on Wednesday.

“All the players and coaching staff are really excited but he won’t be playing this weekend.

“There’s certainly not a problem. We’re very happy with his progression from where he’s come from.

“It’s small safety measures now, it’s about making sure that, when he does get out to play for Warrington, he stays on the park and he’s healthy for the season.

“He’s certainly not that far away. We have got to hold him back at times because he wants to do more.

“I don’t want to speculate (on his debut) but he’s doing everything he can.”
