Young cub, Cameron Stirling, has returned to the training track after having off-season surgery to correct the osteitis pubis ravaging his left groin.
Stirling suffered an interrupted 2006, but received the all clear from the club physiotherapist on Monday to begin full training with the squad.
His intense off-season treatment began only a week after last year's Grand Final, when he underwent surgery to lengthen his left hip-flexor muscle.
A course of injections and physiotherapy followed and now he is ready to return to the top flight.
Standing at 194cm, he will be an integral part of the team's plans this year and will more than likely hold down the key centre half-back position.
