Injury Report Kosi returns for NSW Cup Winger Edward Kosi returns to the One New Zealand Warriors NSW Cup squad on Saturday after seven weeks out.
Kosi is out with a fractured medial femoral condyle sustained in the Round 10 defeat to Penrith on 6 May.
He will return for the Warriors’ NSW Cup Round 17 clash against St George Illawarra Dragons on Go Media at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday (12pm kick-off).
Kosi started the season impressively, securing a place on the wing in the first ten rounds and scoring five tries in his first six games.
Also off the injured list is substitute Dylan Walker, who was on the bench in One New Zealand Warriors’ National League game against St George Illawarra on Friday night.
Center forwards Jazz Tebaga (calf) and Pat Te Mere Martin (calf) continue to progress.
Performance director Balin Couples said Tebaga was once again strengthening his grass running and would begin consolidating his skills in the coming weeks.
Martin is recovering from a broken fibula and is in the early stages of running, he said.
He started running full weight on the field.
NRL rookies Demitrik Sifakula and Ali Leitaua have both suffered injury setbacks.
Sifakulla is recovering from a moderate knee injury (posterior cruciate ligament) sustained in the opening minutes of his New South Wales Cup team’s match against the Rabbitohs on 3 June.
Leitaua’s impressive freshman debut was marred by a hamstring injury suffered late in the club’s 36-14 victory over the Raiders on June 9.
Couples said Leitaua has suffered a severe strain in his proximal hamstring, which will keep him out for an extended period of time.
Fullback Taine Tuaupiki is also out this week after sustaining a head contusion in Saturday’s NSW Cup defeat to Newtown.
