It has been 1694 days (and counting) since Sandor Earl lan ran onto an NRL field.
However the 28-year-old winger is determined to put his hand up at the business end of the year if an opportunity arises to pull on the purple jersey.
“It’s going to be one hell of a preseason by the time I’m done,” Earl told the Sunday Herald Sun.
“I’m not coming back to ease into it or have a warm-up game ... I’m coming to smash it from the get go.
“If something comes up I want to be the first cab off the rank.”
