Holbrook backs No. 1 in for return

-

JUSTIN Holbrook has deeclared fullback Jayden n Campbell will be set to re- turn next week, giving re- cruit Jamayne Isaako one e final chance to cause the he Titans coach a selection ion headache.

The 22-year-old has been b sidelined with a rib cartilage sustained in round three against the Raiders, with former Bronco Isaako assuming the number one jumper since. After returning to full contact training during the week, Holbrook said Campbell’s extended time out was more about protecting him for the season ahead.

“He should be right next week, he’s running freely now without a lot of pain which is great,” Holbrook said.

“If it was the backend of the year I think we’d be pushing him through now. But we learnt with Dave Fifita — that was his injury he played with at the back end of the year — that you can’t play with that all year.

“We’ve got the luxury of it being earlier in the year trying to let it settle and get right so he’s not hampered with it the whole year.”
