WHEN powerhouse Warringah outside back Ben Woollett suffered a serious neck injury in round three of the Shute Shield there were initially fears for his rugby future.

But after a tough 10 weeks on the sideline, he has returned to the field and bolstered the Rats’ backline in the countdown to the finals.

It has also enabled Woollett to reunite with his good mate fullback Ben Marr, with whom he has developed a lethal combination over their years of playing together.     

Woollett suffered a bulging disc in his neck after a crusher-style tackle in the third game of the season against Eastwood.
