Trai Fuller, the talented fullback, is set to make his much-anticipated return to rugby league this weekend with the Central Queensland Capras, rather than the Dolphins.
According to zerotackle.com, he will be playing against Wynnum Manly on Stradbroke Island as he recovers from a serious knee injury sustained during the previous year's Hostplus Cup finals.
With the Dolphins on a bye, Fuller has received approval to don the Capras jersey, benefiting from the Queensland Rugby League's feeder club alignment system.
Unlike most NRL players who typically resume play with their direct second-tier affiliate, Fuller's comeback has been meticulously managed to ensure a safe and effective return to full speed.
Coach Kristian Woolf emphasized that the decision was made with Fuller's long-term welfare in mind, identifying this weekend as the perfect moment for his competitive re-entry.
