Blacklock out of Dragons v Cowboys
clash

St George Illawarra's Nathan Blacklock has been ruled out of tomorrow night's clash with the Cowboys in Townsville.

It's understood a knee injury has sidelined the Dragons winger.

Earlier reports said he missed training yesterday with the flu with speedster Nick Youngquest expected to be the likely replacement.

Last month Blacklock missed a planned training session and failed to attend the Dragons' match against Penrith in round 14, although he was out injured for that match. The misdemeanour saw Blacklock being dropped to Premier League.

Coach Nathan Brown will finalise his line-up after a training run tomorrow morning.
