“However, he needs a rest again, so Ben’s return provides us more, and Kels’ (Liam Kelly) half-game performance indicates he’s fresh. I think people appear lanky at this time of year.

“Thankfully, Ben Sheaf and the medical staff have worked hard to get to this point. It was great to have him on the bench to come on and do what he did and if we didn’t have him available.”

“A lot of squad injuries occur across the nation, putting you in a situation where you can be behind and not have as much energy as you used to have,” he continued.
