PJ is almost there

Former New Zealand Warrior PJ Marsh's rugby league comeback is almost complete.

Marsh is back in full contact training with his Parramatta team, after a serious neck injury and a series of operations.

Marsh says he has gained a full clearance from at least three doctors, so that helps.

He says the second and third opinions helped ease his concerns, and a return to training certainly took his mind off the neck problems.

He says he has not really had time to think twice about returning to full training.

Marsh says in his first wrestle at training he was thrown on to his head, so he has had no time to get nervous.

Marsh says he would have liked to return to the NRL playing for the Warriors, but at least he is still in the position of playing again, even though it is not in Auckland.

wouldn't have been thrown on his head by T. Smith by any chance?

what the? i thought he specifically wanted to play at Parra? Or is he just saying that he would have preferred to have played some footy again before leaving the Warriors?

Being a PJ myself i can understand where he is coming from

well he was injured for a season and a bit, warriors still paying him, he feels he owes something for them and if he got cut like he did his preferance was parra

I think it is a bit of both he actually still had a year to run on his Warriors contract he had also missed the last 18 mths but if reports are correct he was released from his Warriors contract and with that happening wanted to come home.

injury or not, the moment Anderson left the Warriors he was hell bent to get out of there and get back to more familiar and comfortable surroundings.

I think he's partner [Kelly] had just as much if not more imput in the matter than PJ had.

yeh hurri, i cant argue there, with a post count as big as yours its a one sided affair

He seems confident he can make a sucessful return. But I doubt he can play 80min's week in week out after being out of the game for 18 months. This is why I believe he will be much more suited the the utilty role.

think it was more a positive spin on the matter for the Warriors from a NZ correspondent more than anything.....i think he wants to play in the blue and gold
