Sounds unlikely that he could play!!!
Kimmorley close to comeback

CRONULLA halfback Brett Kimmorley will find out today if he can resume training in a bid to play against the Sydney Roosters on Sunday, a match vital to the Sharks' slim finals hopes.
The Sharks are two points out of the top eight in 11th spot and have lost their the past three games, including 16-12 in extra time to Brisbane, 24-16 to the Dragons and 37-26 to the Bulldogs.
Club officials believe they could have won those games had Kimmorley played, but the Cronulla captain has been sidelined since early June after tearing his hamstring in camp with the NSW team before State of Origin II.
Kimmorley, who had hoped to return a month ago but aggravated the injury while trying to stretch out at training before the Warriors game, will receive the results of his latest ultrasound today.
"It won't give me the green light, but it will give me a clearance to start running again," Kimmorley said.
"It's been very frustrating knowing I could have played the last two or three games where we've nearly won.
"It feels great now walking around and doing boxing and that, but it's different to feeling great playing a game of footy.
"It would be a good time to come back because I've missed enough footy and we're under a bit of a do-or-die attitude."
Cronulla would be desperate for Kimmorley to return given they will lose Chris Beattie against the Roosters. The Sharks prop was charged with a dangerous throw yesterday and is expected to get a one-match suspension today.
There was better news for Beattie after the match review committee found nothing to support Brisbane captain Gorden Tallis's headbutting allegations, saying of the incident there may have been "minor contact between heads" but there was no evidence it was intentional.
