Bailey Only Change to St.George
Bank Dragons

International St.George Bank Dragons prop Luke Bailey is the only change to the line-up to play the Storm in Melbourne this weekend, with coach Nathan Brown rewarding the side which upset the Warriors last Saturday.

Bailey, who missed last weekend's match on suspension, has returned to the starting line-up, with Ashton Sims going back to the bench.

Brown has named a six-man bench including Justin Poore, Brent Kite, Lincoln Withers, Tony Jensen and Nathan Long (who did not play last Saturday in Auckland because of a knee injury).

Meanwhile, Dragons centre Mark Gasnier, who returned to training with the St George Bank Dragons this morning as planned, will play in Premier League against the Newtown Jets on Saturday alongside Brett Firman.

Gasnier was granted leave last Thursday and missed the Warriors game in Auckland, while Firman was relegated last week to regain confidence after his second shoulder reconstruction.
