In a timeline that would make even the most seasoned rugby league aficionado break a sweat, Dolphins head honcho Kristian Woolf has dropped a bombshell regarding the return of former Queensland State of Origin powerhouse Thomas Flegler in 2025.
Flegler, who took a hit with a nerve injury to his shoulder last season, was sidelined for most of the games, sparking concerns about the future of his career.
But fear not, mates, as recent reports have confirmed that Flegler is back in the training grind.
However, Woolf cautioned that a triumphant return for Flegler before mid-2025 is as likely as finding a four-leaf clover on the field.
There's a chance he may sit out the entire season, giving fans and critics alike a reason to hold their breath.
"He went under the knife at the end of the last season, and now it's all about waiting to see how that shoulder shapes up," Woolf revealed.
"We'll hit some milestones along the way to gauge his progress and determine when he can once again grace the pitch."
The rollercoaster ride of Flegler's recovery is one that keeps the fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating his triumphant return to the field.
Only time will tell if this Queensland warrior can emerge stronger from this setback and reignite his flame on the rugby league battlefield.
