Dragons Rookie Sidelined with Finger Injury
Dragons rookie Kade Reed has been sidelined due to a finger injury that could keep him out for three months, adding to the challenges faced by Dean Young’s struggling team. The 20-year-old halfback made his debut on Anzac Day but has lost both of his games in the top grade against the Roosters and Knights. Reed ruptured a tendon in his finger and will not travel to Magic Round. According to reports, he will be replaced in the halves by Kyle Flanagan.
Reed, the son of former coach Shane Flanagan, hasn’t played the past fortnight but looks set to link back up with Daniel Atkinson, who missed the round 10 clash with Newcastle. Another option is Lyhkan King-Togia, who could play five-eighth alongside either Atkinson or Flanagan after filling in last weekend.
Elsewhere, the wounded Broncos and Rabbitohs are set for a major boost, while the Roosters will be without a key enforcer due to suspension.
