“Scans in his hamstring have confirmed a small tear. At this stage, Alex is not ruled out for round one and we will monitor his progress over the next two weeks. Haines said.
“Alex has a had a great pre-season and we know it’s a long season, so we’ll give him every opportunity to recover fully and set him up to play the rest of the year.”
