Someone said its bursitis on the knee (little fluid sacks) which are incredibly painful but im not sure if they can keep needling them or it needs a chunk of rest. But no Lomax+Suli.. geez.

Big losses, both been in terrific form. Sione Finau for Zac please.

Reckon Zac has been playing in the centres for so long he only knows how to tackle them as I noted two of the Maroons tries were a result of him moving in on the centre and leaving an overlap.

A lot of penalties blown against NSW in the second half. Think it was 7 in a row.

At least Hammer out for them will even out Lomax being out for us.
This team this year does anything but inspire confidence. But at least better than last year where the only thing we could predict confidently was losing.

If the Dolphins can play the game in the backs , outside, clear the ruck edges they have far too much speed for our backs and halves. Our best chances lie playing it in the middle of the park and utilising our big edge forwards. I've changed my selection 3 times today and in the end I've plonked on the Dolphins to unfortunately knock us over. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see us matching their speed in the backs.

Trai Fuller (TPH + 10yrs) might tear us a new one instead, but definitely far less a threat than the hammer.

I saw Fuller a few weeks ago. They won't lose much without Hammer.

And for not surrendering in tackles so easily, Tyrell.

Suli trained today but not full session.

That's good news with 2 and half days still before the game.
Reckon it's worth the risk? I'd rather be taking the cautious side but Flanno might think of it as a must win game for the finals hopes...

I think Flanno would be right in thinking about this game as must win. Have a hard draw coming up and Dolphins aren't that good at all. Not one of the top teams. Simply have to beat them.

St George Illawarra officials are confident that NSW Origin star Zac Lomax will be cleared to play for the Dragons on Sunday despite picking up a knee injury. Lomax confirmed the knee complaint post Wednesday’s win but the Dragons medical staff are confident he will be fine to play for St George Illawarra against the Dolphins provided there are no late setbacks.
“I had an inflamed bursa that was swollen and it’s got some bruising around it. There was a haematoma there. I got it drained in Melbourne (on Tuesday). That’s footy,” Lomax said. “It will be all right. We go again. We have a job to do. “I (also) have a bit of a shoulder (issue) but that’s the way it goes. I just had to be the best teammate I could. I actually love my teammates.”
