He is currently in the rehabilitation group working on running.Brendan Oake injured his thumb in the first minutes of the match against the Warriors in Round 17 and played 70 minutes with torn ligaments and tendons.

Seriously, the way the team is playing right now, who could get dropped for one of these guys? Of course Shacks is gonna be a regular first grader, but why risk him while the current 17 are fit?

Still, handy to have back up in case there's more injuries.
