Mixed fortunes for Halifax Panthers players returning from injury

Grix said: “Sion has done really well with his knee and thrown himself into everything after working really hard out of sight throughout lockdown.

"With such an injury there are extensive niggles and Sion is experiencing some at the minute, nothing too serious but we will have to slow him down a bit for his and our sake.”

Grix added: “Ben is in good shape and through his rehab probably a touch quicker than expected. He has been joining in the more controlled skill elements of training without a problem and beginning to take part in what is appropriate for him.”
