Yorkshire Post ......

“We’re hoping he can be in and around the training environment maybe the early part of next week and then he’ll have to follow the return to play. But that’s a suck it and see – there’s no real concrete timeframe on that for us or Josh.”

Also from the Yorkshire Post actually the same article you quoted. Does Last saying he hasn’t been around the training environment prove exactly what I said that his ‘lingering effects’ couldn’t be confirmed by the club ?

YP again......

Explaining the situation further, Last added: “I spoke to him during those two weeks of isolation and he was out of breath on the phone, out of breath walking up the stairs and finding it difficult just out in the garden with the kids.

“It is quite scary and we have just got to be conscious of the welfare of the player.

“We have to make sure we don’t push him too hard as that could end up being his undoing.

“It’s a difficult one. It’s not like a hamstring where you know it's going to be four weeks. This is very much seeing what he can tolerate in terms of physical work and what we can actually push.

“He got to the point where he was back in training with us and we were pushing him along thinking he might be back in consideration for playing.

“But then he had an adverse effect on how hard we pushed him and really struggled with some fatigue after it. He was very, very tired and it’s a bit of suck it and see now.”

And it was certainly reported that he was back in training when picked for the 21 man squads later in the season.

He wants to play 13

Its a shot in the arm for Cator if Jones doesn't think he can dislodge him..

Having watched Jones play at 13 for Bennett ,when he joined Hull I thought he would end up there. I said then that he reminded me so much of Greg Eastwood, the Kiwi international lock, both physically and in playing ability. Good luck to him in his future career.

I recently received a montage of family photos from one of my nieces in Hull including one featuring Joe Cator. Turns out she is related via her dad's sister.
