Dolphins forward Thomas Flegler has opened up about his uncertain NRL future after a nerve injury sidelined him since round five last year.
Flegler underwent nerve transfer surgery in September, but the recovery has been slow, causing worries about his return to the field.
While unsure if he will play for the Dolphins this year, Flegler remains confident about his NRL career, stating, "I will definitely come back." He acknowledges the challenges of his injury, noting the slow progress compared to more common injuries like ACL tears.
Flegler draws inspiration from Panthers prop Moses Leota, who has a similar injury.
With 100 NRL games under his belt and experience representing Queensland and Australia, Flegler's absence has been noticeable for both his club and state.
Despite the uncertainties surrounding his recovery timeline, Flegler remains determined to make a comeback, emphasizing that his NRL journey is far from over.
