Shaun Burgoyne is progressing well in his recovery from a hamstring injury, but wasn't pleased with missing his first game in almost five years.

"He didn't enjoy missing the game I can tell you," Director of High Performance Andrew Russell said.

"He wanted to be out there with the boys, he was desperate to be out there.

"He's settled down really well, we're really pleased with the way he's going.

"He's on track, he'll miss another couple of games but then he'll be ready to go."
