 The
St.George Bank Dragons will be boosted by
the return of international representative
Luke Bailey for the first NRL semi-final against
the Panthers at Penrith Stadium this Friday
night.
Bailey,
24, has returned ahead of schedule, having
been out for 15 weeks since tearing his pectoral
muscle in round 9 against Manly. Representative
prop Jason Ryles and flying winger Reece Simmonds
will also make a welcome return to the team,
both having missed the Dragons last match
(Rnd 25 v Manly) through injury.
The
Dragons will be looking to make it five wins
in a row and three from three against the
defending Premiers having defeated them in
both round matches during the regular season;
44-18 at WIN Stadium in round 6 and 28-8 at
Penrith Stadium in round 14.
