Possible Dragons Team -

1. Nightingale*
2. Morris
3. Scott*
4. Stanley/Emmett**
5. Lett
6. Soward*
7. Head
8. Saffy
9. Young
10. Hunt
11. Prior
12. Marketo**
13. Costigan

14. Merrin**
15. Hudson**
16. Paea**
17. Fepuluai**

I doubt Creagh, Weyman and Poore will back up from city/counrty in Orange the night before.

Smith and Boyd will be lucky even if they play on friday night let alone Saturday

Sailor under injury cloud

Hornby, Cooper, Sailor out injured

*Would still have to back up from match in orange the night before
** Would be making debut for dragons

Nightingale is 18th man for the Kiwis...I hope he gets a run but I cant see him beating out the Beast or Perrett who has been good at FB this year; Flo will be fresh for saturday. Smith won't play saturday regardless as even if he makes it on the field friday night he wont be in any shape to play again the next day. Same goes for Boyd.

Saints team should look like:
Nightingale
Stanley
Scott
Emmett
Morris
Soward
Head
Poore
Young
Saffy
Prior
Paea
Costigan

Weyman
Hunt
Creagh
Fepuleai

Brent Kite in the Aussie team, makes the blues selectors look as stupid.

Cross and White instead of Kite and Ryles in the front row, what a joke

Wouldn't rule out Cooper and Hornby playing for the dragons this weekend. Both players do not have serious injuries and were primarily dropped from the country side because they might miss a couple of days training which the team can not afford when they have to gel in less than a week.

Does anyone other than dragons supporters really care about a 'possible' lineup for the Dragons this week?

This can't be correct surely. Nathan Friend would go down in history as the smallest prop forward to play the game.
