Richie Fa'aoso cleared to resume training

Richie Fa'aoso has been granted a conditional medical clearance which will allow the Manly forward to resume training next week.

Fa'aoso's career remains in the balance after suffering a broken neck which prevented him from taking his place in the grand final against the Roosters. His future is further clouded following a drunken incident which resulted in him pleading guilty to drink driving, although the 29 year old will contest charges of malicious damage and failing to stop after an alleged domestic dispute.

The initial diagnosis on Fa'aoso's fractured C7 vertebra injury was that it would be a career-ending one. However, the former Eels, Roosters, Panthers, Raiders and Knights prop sought a second opinion and was told he could resume running, although contact work remains off limits.

"My understanding is he is cleared to resume basic training. Basic training means exactly that, fundamental movements," said Manly's head of strength and conditioning, Don Singe.

"He will be screened and then more serious training will go from there when he returns.

"As yet he has not returned to training."

Fa'aoso is booked in for another meeting with the specialist in a month's time which should determine whether he can return to the NRL next year.

Richie has also said that he expects to be the number 1 rated front rower this year.

Asked if it was wise to make such a bold claim, Richie answered that he isn't afraid of sticking his neck out.
