It's feeling alright at the moment, I've had physio on it and the physio said it's all good, so I'm ready to go. I haven't done much, I've done a little bit of running and kicking, but I'll make sure I get through a full session before the game.

The classy forward left the field in the final quarter of the club's win over Leeton in the second semi a fortnight ago.
He said at the time he remained confident of overcoming the corked calf.
"It's feeling alright at the moment, I've had physio on it and the physio said it's all good, so I'm ready to go," he said.
"I haven't done much, I've done a little bit of running and kicking, but I'll make sure I get through a full session before the game."
It will be the 32-year-old's 10th senior grand final with four premierships at Albury and three at Central District.
"Obviously it helps going into it, you're still nervous, you're nervous from the first one to this one, but it does help calm the nerves," he said.
The teams have met twice in the shortened COVID-19 season.
Wagga won both, toppling the Crows by 29 points in round three and only three points in that second semi.
