NRL Late Mail round 24: Team changes and gossip
The Daily Telegraph
9 minutes ago
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA have suffered a huge blow ahead of Friday night’s crunch NRL clash with Brisbane after losing four players before kick-off.

Dragons coach Paul McGregor revealed two players had come down with the flu while another two suffered injuries at training in Brisbane on Thursday.

He refused to name the players.

“No, I can’t tell you but we’ve had an eventful morning,” McGregor said.

“Two guys stayed in bed this morning because they were ill with flu and we lost two at training today.

“We brought 21 players up so we have coverage.

“We came up a day early on Wednesday thinking we would get the jump but a couple of guys woke up under the weather and now this (injuries).” The ninth-placed Dragons need to notch their first win over the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium since 2009 to maintain their hunt for a top-eight spot.

Oh dear

Our biggest problem is that we have four player who will have to pass fitness test tomorrow morning before we play broncos.
Frizz is the biggest concern and my not play.
Duges atkins have a good chance.
Packer also a good chance.
But could have a few late changes.

Plot twist: this is Mary's attempt at changing the Broncos gameplan.

All the greatest coaches do this.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Great, if we were to beat the Broncos, we need to be at full strength.
Not looking healthy at all. ( pardon the pun )

 

[JDHD]

What if we have to play DeBelin at halfback again?

 

[Saints Forever]

Just maybe Mary will confuse himself and do a master coaching effort and confuse the f**k out of everyone ....

The only person Mary regularly confuses is himself.

 

[Mickthedragon]

We had chances the last few weeks when near full strength and blew it,now things start to go wrong when we can ill afford it but its our own bloody fault.
At least Mary has an excuse this week,what was it for the other weeks?

 

[MilanDragon]

this us even better for us - massive outsiders here, what an oppportunity!

Hope it's not Widdop, Dufty or JDB - they're all in my SuperCoach team!

Tha flu is bad up here in Brisbane - I've had 4 of my team off sick this week too! Why couldn't some of the Broncos have caught it instead?

Our only hope is that Mary & Demetriou walk into the wrong dressing sheds at half time...

So we can thank the filthy Queenslanders for this

 

[warwickdragon]

Was anyone at the players meet and greet tonight in brisbane and noticed which players were absent

 

[Coffs dragon]

Hope it's not Mann Flu!

 

[ALSGI]

The Dragons Flu pandemic could wipe out Qld. By tomorrow night the Donkeys will need an extended bench. Hunt's signature is imunity but f**k the the rest of the merkins.

 

[Smack]

I think the mind games started with mentioning Hunt is a better 9 than 7. This is all a ruse I believe..

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

We have leaked to many points there which has allowed teams back in to the game. Can't believe we are still talking about it this late into the season.

I can McGregors in charge dont forget......we will still be talking about it this time in 2018/2019......aaarghhhh I just spoilt my own evening
