“Dion is not too far away, really, really close in fact,” added Evatt. “He can do 99 per cent of what he needs. He’s had another round of prolotherapy (pain relief) which will hopefully tick that last one per cent off and then he's ready to go. He's raring to go.
“Nathan trained fully today. At the moment he looks great. Fingers crossed there's no reaction overnight, so we will make a call about him and the weekend but it's great to have him back.
“Dan (Nlundulu) is back training and just needs a bit of volume before we get him back involved. Caleb Taylor is back training, George Johnson has been training for a few weeks now and getting better all the time and Randell (Williams) is back fully fit now.
“Gethin (Jones) will probably miss this weekend, but be okay for next, so all of a sudden that squad is getting stronger and stronger which is exactly what we need.
