Timmins Makes a Welcome Return for
the Dragons

The Dragons welcome the return of Origin rep Shaun Timmins for their round 23 Telstra Premiership clash with the Sharks at Toyota Park this Saturday.

Timmins missed last week's 30-20 loss to the Warriors because of suspension, along with interchange forward Ashton Sims. Teenage winger Ben Creagh, who made his NRL debut last week in Timmins' absence, will return to Premier League.

Dragons coach Nathan Brown has named a five-man bench including Sims, Brent Kite, Dean Young, Craig Stapleton and John Cross. Cross was rested last week.

The Dragons, currently in ninth, beat the second-last Sharks 28-12 at Oki Jubilee Stadium on May 4.
