Cale returned to the field for the first time this season playing reserve grade for Albury last Sunday but won’t be stepping up to first grade.
“I’m just having a couple of games in reggies to help out while they are down on a few numbers,” Cale said.
"I wouldn’t have the fitness I don’t think.”
Coming through his first hit out pretty well Cale will line up for the Thunder again when they tackle Southcity on Sunday.
However the 33-year-old doesn’t want to keep a younger player sidelined.
“I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t done a lot of running and was pretty out of nick but we’ll see how we go next week,” Cale said.
