Dragons
Preview
When you think of Shaun Johnson, you immediately think of excitement and lots of points. Unfortunately for the Warriors, it hasn’t been the case so far in 2017.
The Bulldogs took care of them in Dunedin last weekend however they will receive a much-needed boost with the debut of Keiran Foran. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck also returns to fullback which will give Stephen Kearney’s men a bit more structure around the park.
The Dragons will head to Jubilee with the same 17 that defeated the reigning premiers last week as they look to remain up the pointy end of the ladder. The Dragons pack instrumental for the red V last week with Paul Vaughan leading the way for them with 204 metres.
Defensively, they’ve also been impressive over the opening rounds of the season and we can see that run continuing with a win to round out round four.
