No Changes for Dragons to Play
Warriors

The Dragons have named an unchanged line-up for their second round 2004 Telstra Premiership clash with the Warriors in Auckland this Saturday.

However Australian prop Luke Bailey will not be playing after being suspended for one week following his early plea this afternoon on a careless tackle charge from the Raiders game on Sunday.

Dragons coach Nathan Brown named the side earlier today and will not be making a decision on final changes until later this week.

Update: Thompson to Replace Bailey for Warriors Game

Lance Thompson has been named in the starting line-up to replace suspended Australian prop Luke Bailey for the St.George Bank Dragons second round 2004 Telstra Premiership clash with the Warriors in Auckland this Saturday.

Bailey has been suspended for one week following his early plea this afternoon on a careless tackle charge from the Raiders game on Sunday.

The only other change is the inclusion of Michael Howell on a six-man bench, with two to be omitted.
