Mitch Barnett, the New Zealand Warriors enforcer, is determined to showcase his best football as he recovers from last year's ACL injury.
Despite worries about any potential slowdown in his performance, he remains committed to finishing strong as he approaches the end of his Warriors contract.
Set to return to Australia next year, Barnett's release from the Warriors came on compassionate grounds.
On the Ford League Lounge, hosted by Shaun Johnson, Barnett expressed his enthusiasm to rejoin his teammates on the field.
"I'm just ready to go," Barnett stated confidently.
"I don't care what round it is, who it is, I'm ready to go."
"I have been ready to go since before Christmas."
"I have ticked some things off that I needed to do with my knee."
"Watching the boys run out there and do a job on the Roosters has got me amped up."
With this positive mindset, Barnett is poised to make an impact upon his return, eager to contribute to the team's success.
