Gasnier Rejoins the St.George Bank Dragons Line-up to Play Knights

International centre Mark Gasnier is one of two new faces in a reshuffled St.George Bank Dragons team named today to play the Knights in their round four Telstra Premiership clash at WIN Stadium this Sunday.

Gasnier has not played since round one after missing the win against the Warriors because of personal problems and the loss to Melbourne last week after being chosen in Premier League.

He replaces David Howell who will play Premier League, while Sims returns after missing one game with a twisted knee.

Sims will start at prop allowing Lance Thompson to move back to his regular second row spot and Mark Riddell to return to hooker.

Ryan Powell, who started at hooker last week, has been named on a six-man bench (with two to be omitted), along with Justin Poore, Brent Kite, Michael Howell, Lincoln Withers and Ben Creagh. Kite, Howell and Withers played off the bench last week, while Poore was omitted from the line-up and Creagh scored a hat-trick of tries in Premier League.
