INJURED Bulldogs centre Josh Morris is expected to return for his side next week for their Round 8 clash with South Sydney.
Morris tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after he fell awkwardly in the lead-up to Kris Keating’s second half try in their round one win over Wests Tigers.
In need of a win and unable to stake his claims for an Origin recall, Morris says he isn’t too far away.
“Probably two weeks away, Souths we play,” he said of his return.
“I started running last week and will do a few more runs this week and I’m just keen to get back out with the boys.
“Fingers crossed it goes well.”
Morris, who signed a new three year deal with the club at the start of this season said the rehabilitation process has been slow but positive having not been dealt with any setbacks.
I was in a brace for the first few weeks not allowed to straighten it,” said Morris.
“I got the brace off a week and a half ago and did my first run last Friday.
“It went well and my knee didn’t blow up so we’ll look to get a few more intense runs in during this week and hopefully get out with the boys on the field the week after.”
His replacement, Tim Lafai, has been making a home for himself on the left edge turning the heads of many of his team mates including Morris.
Morris said that it is comforting to know that are well equipped should injuries arise.
“Tim’s been doing a great job for us,” said Morris.
“He’s light on his feet and he’s a pretty solid defender so I’ve been happy with how he’s gone and it’s good to see how he’s gone and tested our depth at this stage.”
