Green hurt but remains positive

about, a couple of weeks and I’ll be back out there.’’

The Warriors’ first trial game is against the Melbourne Storm in Geelong on February 22, while their other one is against Wests Tigers in Whangarei a week later.

While Green’s injury isn’t serious, he’s unlikely to play in the first of those games, and is questionable for the second.

‘‘I haven’t really looked that far ahead,’’ he said.

‘‘To be honest, I probably wasn’t going to be playing in the first trial anyway and it’s up to Mooks [Warriors coach, Stephen Kearney] to see if I was going to play in the last one.

‘‘But I’m pretty confident that I’ll be ready to go for that one, it’s not until four weeks’ time.’’

Warriors assistant coach Stacey Jones said the club wasn’t overly worried about Green’s injury. ‘‘When players of his age go through a lot of preseason drag it’s tough on their bodies.

‘‘When a player like that pulls up feeling a bit tight in certain areas, you’ve got to give them a rest.’’
