Maxigesic Recovery Report: Pair off injury list

Experienced NRL campaigners Kurt Capewell and Bunty Afoa have been cleared to return from injury.

Capewell (30) took a blow to the throat in the round seven loss to St George Illawarra, ruling him out of the Anzac Day encounter against the Titans.

He has recovered to resume his starting role against Newcastle on Sunday.

Afoa (27) comes back from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him since the fifth-round win over South Sydney.

While they return, hooker-half Paul Roache is out this week following concussion protocols after a head knock playing for the One New Zealand Warriors’ New South Wales Cup side in last Saturday’s 22-22 draw with competition leader Penrith.
