12. St. George Illawarra: (Blake Lawrie and Zac Lomax)

With the Dragons having a mixed start to the beginning of the year, they are one win away from turning their season around. With injuries throughout the first 10 rounds it has given both young guns Blake Lawrie and Zac Lomax starting sports in the Red V. I couldn’t split the two and after watching them in the 2018 finals series, it has made me very confident in this decision. Lawrie is an extremely gutsy player who plays with a lot of heart and has started the season off very well and has earned his starting spot, pushing veterans like Korbin Sims and Jeremy Latimore to the bench. Lomax on the other hand has only found himself in the starting spot the last few weeks because of injuries. The 19-year-old has been showing off his ability, playing almost anywhere coach, Paul McGregor puts him. Lomax is finally been promoted to the starting fullback role this weekend after Matt Dufty has been dropped. With Lawrie putting pen to paper and resigning with the club as well as Lomax getting the starting one jersey, dragons fans have a lot to look forward to in the future.

  1. Clearly has taken a step back? Clearly will strike some form?
    I think you mean Cleary!
    Maloney & Clearly ( only joking ! ), don’t make a good halves pairing & haven’t at any time.
    Got to get rid of the overpriced Maloney & allow the overpriced Cleary to try & earn his pay.
    With Luai as the other half.
