Brett Hodgson column: We’re feeling the pain

May 22 2009 Huddersfield Daily Examiner

LIAM FULTON and myself have been copping a fair bit of stick off our highly sympathetic teammates over the past couple of weeks.

Me and Liam, right, are now the only two players who are having those killer 7.30am starts to do the rehabilitation work.

I’ve got my quad-muscle injury and Liam’s still doing the work to get his knee 100% right.

To be honest, the work is incredibly hard and having to be up so early isn’t that great, although having very young children has helped me acclimatise!

But, according, to our playing colleagues – especially the English boys – the only reason it’s me and Liam in rehab is because the Australians just can’t take the pace.

So, it’ll be good to get out of rehab, not just to get playing again, but to shut my teammates up!
