Peacock: Has been out of action since August<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Returning Leeds prop Jamie Peacock has warned Rhinos fans he may need time to re-discover his best form.<\/p>\n

Peacock has been named in the Leeds squad to face Castleford on Friday after an eight-month layoff having ruptured his cruciate ligament last August.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ironically, The Jungle represents a return to the scene of his horror injury, but Peacock has cooled the hype surrounding his involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s like pre-season for me and it’s not realistic to expect me to get back to how I was playing straight away,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tough game<\/span><\/h4>\n

“It’s been the longest break I’ve ever had and it’s going to take some time to find my feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But it’s going to be a 20 to 25-game season for me which is fantastic. I’m still going to be fresh at the end of the year when the important games come round.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Peacock is expecting a tough game from Castleford, who are two points above Rhinos in the Super League following their best start to a campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They’ve got some good players,” he said. “We always have difficult games with them, with it being a local derby.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s good to see young British players coming through at Cas. Terry Matterson and the club are doing a great job.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Peacock’s injury denied the prop the chance to captain England on their Four Nations trip to Australia and New Zealand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic<\/span><\/h5>\n

The 33-year-old could be in line for a return to the national side as skipper against the Exiles next month but, for now, his priorities lie with his club.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m just concentrating on doing my best for Leeds,” he said. “I’ve five games before the England match and I’ll be looking to improve with each one.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s been the longest break I’ve ever had and it’s going to take some time to find my feet. “

Meanwhile, with Castleford front rower Craig Huby suffering a fractured kneecap in his side’s defeat at St Helens on Monday, Peacock offered his sympathy as his opposite number prepares for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My thoughts are with Craig,” he said. “He’s been going very well this year and showed what a fantastic player he is. He is one of reasons Cas are going so well.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s still a young fella though and he’ll be back before long.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
