STURT
Sturt has named premiership defender Byron Sumner ahead of schedule for its match against Adelaide on Saturday.
Sumner, who copped a jaw injury against Port in Round 9, was initially expected to miss four weeks but could return a week earlier if he takes his place in the final 21.
The former Sydney Swan is one of three inclusions for the Double Blues’ 23-man squad, with tall forward Hugo Munn and utility Joel Thiele also earning a call up.
Munn has been named to start at centre-haf forward while Thiele, named on the extended interchange bench, could play his first Statewide Super League game of the year after playing 10 in the Reserves for 2019.

Not Joel Thiele's debut - he has played 19 senior games for Sturt, through defence and midfield.

There is still time for the other J Thiele to make his debut, however.
