Tomorrow Anthony Milford gets a chance to prove he is ready to return to the field - yesterday he gave us an update on his shoulder injury.

Milford dislocated his shoulder playing against the Roosters in early June, and is getting near the six-week time frame for the injury.

He said he was pleased with the progress despite having to put up with the long recovery.

"The shoulder is coming along really well and is ahead of schedule," he said.

"I had my first real contact session today, so we will re-assess during the week and see how we go.

"I do get frustrated.

"You get bored sitting around watching the boys run around.

"So it is good to be back training with the boys again and being part of it."

A decision on whether Milford will play against the Knights in Newcastle on Saturday will be made at training tomorrow morning.

If he doesn't play this week, the star half will be an almost certain starter against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium next Thursday when the Broncos begin their post-Origin run to the finals.
