"He is progressing really well and we should see him back up for selection very soon."
Meanwhile, Mason Lino has been cleared of a knee injury.
The half limped off the field in the Canterbury Cup NSW clash on the weekend but is expected to be available for selection this weekend.
"Mason didn't have the best return on the weekend.
"He came down on the fat pad on the same knee he injured, and probably scared himself a little bit.
