It has been a frustrating six weeks for Wellman. He tore his hamstring in the dying minutes of the Round 12 game against Brisbane and has been sidelined ever since. ""Sean is doing everything possible to get himself back on the field as soon as possible. He has just had an unfortunate run with the hamstring, considering the two incidents are not related.
""We have missed his height and experience in defence in the past few games, so it will be good to have him back out there in the coming weeks,"" Cato said.
