St George Illawarra Dragons v Parramatta Eels
Thursday, June 28, 7:50pm
WIN Stadium, Wollongong


Late team news will be all-important throughout Round 16 as representative players attempt to back up for their clubs this week. The Dragons could rest their international representatives in Leeson Ah Mau, James Graham and Gareth Widdop courtesy of the short turnaround for the Test match between England and New Zeland played in Denver. Origin representatives Jack De Belin, Tyson Frizell and Ben Hunt could also be rested, with De Belin the most unlikely as he battles a hip injury. For the Eels, Manu Ma’u suffered a cheekbone injury, while playing for Tonga which is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks. It’s a battle between 1st and 16th, but proceed with caution until we know the final make-up of the Red V.
