NIGHTINGALE & POORE MAKE NRL RETURN FOR EELS CLASH
Tuesday, April 07, 2009
Local juniors Jason Nightingale and Justin Poore will this week make their return from injury when the Dragons take on the Eels at Parramatta Stadium this Friday night.
Nightingale (hamstring) was a late withdrawal from the round three match against the Sharks and has been named on an extended bench whilst Poore returns from a broken hand suffered in the opening clash of 2009 against the Storm.
Ive put in the hard work the last few weeks and it wasnt as bad as first thought so Im back a week or so early which is good, said Nightingale. Ive been named on the bench so Im not entirely sure what my role will be at this stage especially with the side having a lot of momentum.
The two come into the side at the expense of Trent Merrin and Nick Emmett who will return to the Dragons feeder side Shellharbour.
Unavailable Dragons are: Ricky Thorby Back (Rnd 6), Matt Cooper Hamstring (Rnd 7)
