Griffith Black and White Panthers co-coach Craig Morriss was more than happy to have the bye last week, in fact he’d take another one this week if it were possible.

The Black and Whites have had a horror run with injury – mainly in the back row – and it was hoped a few would return following an extra week of recovery.
Of those players on the sideline, David Milne has a chance of returning this Sunday against Tullibigeal-Lakes United at EW Moore Oval.
“He’ll have to go through a fitness test on Thursday. He trained on Tuesday and he’s still a bit tender,” Black and Whites co-coach Craig Morriss said.
Morriss was happy to give his players a week off.
“I think with the week off – we needed it just to freshen a few guys up,” he said.
“We’ve had a small pack all year and they’ve been playing above their weight.
“It was just wearing them down. They’ve done a great job – guys like Michael Uin, Clint Lilo, Andrew Lavaka, you can’t speak more highly of them.”
The match starts at 3pm.
