Dragons trioย Ben Hunt (cork), Jack de Belin (hip pointer) and Tariq Sims (cork) are all racing the clock to be fit for Origin I after injuring themselves their team's 28-2 loss to Penrith.
The three all failed to run out the game after hurting themselves during the second half, with Hunt and de Belin re-agravating injuries from previous weeks, but St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor expects them all to get up for Origin selection.
โ(Hunt) got a bump in the leg and Tariq got a bump in the leg,โ McGregor told Fox Sports.
โThey were affected but wonโt be in any doubt for selection or when we play next.
โJack de Belin re-injured an injury that heโs already got but Iโd say heโd be okay too.โ
Hunt revealed post-match that he tried to come back onto the field, but his body would not allow it.
โItโs not too bad, itโs got a pretty bad cork in there,โ Hunt told Fox Sports.
โI tried to free it up a bit at halftime but I just couldnโt get it going.
โIf I am picked (for Queensland) I think Iโll be pretty right (to play).
โItโs 10 or so days from now and itโs only a cork so hopefully I get it right.โ
