As the Penrith Panthers chase back-to-back premierships for the first time in the club's history, there was concern star halfback Nathan Cleary wouldn't be around to help kick off the 2022 season.
The captain had shoulder surgery in the off-season and Penrith's medical staff were anticipating his return to the field in round three or later.
But Cleary is itching to join his teammates from the season opener in pursuit of another title.
"I'm hoping to be out there for round one, a big occasion at home Thursday night against Manly who are a great team, so that's the plan at the moment," Cleary said.
