The GIANTS could be bolstered by the return of four key players for next Saturday’s Elimination Final. 

Jack Buckley, Josh Kelly, Jake Stringer and Jesse Hogan could all return for the do-or-die match.  

Buckley was on track to return for last Sunday’s round 24 clash but suffered a minor calf strain on the opposite leg in Friday’s main training. 

Kelly and Stringer will participate in modified training this week, while Jesse Hogan has begun his return to play program. 

Stephen Coniglio will also be a test for the first final, having entered concussion protocols following a knock in Sunday’s win over the Saints. 

The GIANTS will enjoy the weekend off before hosting an Elimination Final at ENGIE Stadium next Saturday.
