This video shows how much Atkinson talks on the field. A good insight as to how the boys train as well. I think in the last images I saw Liddle training - could someone concur?

Atko sounds like a skipper DD. Also knows his plays. I looked for Lids, no dice.

Hi RVH
Mug Fan has said that the Mic'd up Atko video was done about 3-4 weeks ago and Lids hadn't pulled the hamstring then. The Dragons put the video on their website only the other day and I thought that it was a recent one.
Sorry to confuse you.
Cheers

No worries mate. So Lids was prob there, tho still didnt see him in any of the fore ground action.
 
Interesting match up in the halves for me our new combination v 2 ex Dragons Ward/Glover. They will have a point to make, in saying that I don't think the Rabbits are taking the game with the same enthusiasm as we are. I hope to see some decent structures in attack on both sides of the ruck.

So what ... Zero Tackle confirm Val not playing ... if only there were someone that had already told us this news to prevent me from such shock :)
Valentine Holmes has recovered from a hamstring injury he suffered during pre-season training in January, however the Dragons have revealed he will be pulled from the Red V’s Charity Shield team. It’s a slight scare for Shane Flanagan, who will put his marquee centre on ice, however the club has made it clear “he will be ready to line up in the side’s season opener against the Bulldogs in Las Vegas”

I think right side will be
Atko Sua Fale Tu
Left side
Kyle Luch Suli CT

If I was a betting man I'd put money on Val not playing

Name him now avoid the questions.

Filmed about the 19th Jan.
Around Luch and Val's issues and couple of days before Lids.

It's ironic that on the day Val returned to training his injured gets reported.
I'd say someone has seen him training with strapping on.
