Green hurt but stays positive

Injured Warriors five-eighth Blake Green believes it could be beneficial for the club for him to be hurt right now.

The biggest scare for the Warriors this season is if Green picks up a significant injury, now that Shaun Johnson is no longer at the club.

Green is helping to get rookies Chanel Harris-Tevita and Adam Keighran up to speed for the start of the new season, but the club will get an early taste of what life is like without Green after he suffered a hamstring injury.

Thankfully for the Warriors, the injury isn’t that serious, but it will hamper his build-up for the new season.

Green was on the field during the Warriors’ training session yesterday, giving advice.

But for the next few weeks it will be Harris-Tevita and Keighran running the moves in the halves.

Green believes his injury will help them grow as players.

‘‘It’s a good opportunity because they’ll get two full weeks of training without me being on the field,’’ Green said. ‘‘They’re going really well, they’ll learn on the run.’’
