But not this young man.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]The 24-year-old will defy the doubters when he plays his first game for the Broncos since dislocating and breaking his ankle in an NRL match nearly two years ago.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]He has endured 10 operations and, possibly worse, the thousands of hours of rehabilitation associated with such an injury.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]He was a Test and Origin player set for an illustrious career before landing awkwardly on his right ankle.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]To just get to this point, where he has been named in the Broncos NRL trial team to face the Cowboys at Redcliffe on Saturday night, is a momentous effort.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]So a little self absorption would be excusable.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]But not from Yow Yeh.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]When asked what made him most pleased about returning in the maroon and gold, it was the club, his family and the supporters he wanted to talk about.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]Such humbleness in the face of adversity if amazing.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"It's a lot of hard work and I just don't put that to myself," he said.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"It's the club, the fans, my friends and my family sticking by me.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"It has been a roller coaster ride but I am really looking forward to Saturday.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"Mostly, the thing for me, is to just put that Broncos' jersey back on.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"It gives me shivers to think I will be pulling back on that Broncos' jersey.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"The best thing about it is my family is going to be there.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"The fans too, I am really passionate about because they have stuck with me since I have done it.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"I have got the utmost support from them so I am excited to get out there and represent the Broncos."[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]And to those that have suggested he couldn't get to here, surely Yow Yeh had every right to say 'I told you so.'[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]It's just not in his nature.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"Let people say what they want to say," he said.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"I have got my own mind set and my own goals around it.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"Hopefully come round one this year, I will be there."[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]He admits it will be a different 'JYY' fans will see.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]He has had to make some changes to his game - the reason he is playing in the centres instead of on the wing where he shone at representative level.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"I have lost a little bit of my speed," he admitted.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"But I have been working hard with the coaching staff and the boys.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"I have got a bit stronger in the gym, which has helped me.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=PTSansRegular]"I have got a bit more strength but a little less speed."[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
