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.”

Jimmmy I actually had the honor of meeting GI and asked him about that particular try against the Broncos. I asked "GI that try, what were you thinking?" His cool response "mate, just pin the ears back" :thumbup:

Detractors have been saying that for almost 130 years of professional competition. Would be a pity if such a tradition was abandoned - thank you for your contribution.

Absolutely BM. When I look back at 55 years or so of Rugby League most trys scored are a blur but that one GI scored for the Rabbitohs against the Broncs is crystal clear and always will be. What a player!

Isn't the ESL a home for the retired?

I feel like I should be annoyed at Souths 'medically retired' scam. But actually I'm just really keen to see the big unit run around again, one of my favourite players to watch since he started in first grade.
