The three St George Illawarra players haven't been the only familiar faces in Country Origin camp this week, with Dragons legend Shaun Timmins joining the squad as team manager.
Timmins was excited to take part in the final City v Country fixture this weekend in Mudgee and spoke of his joy over how he'd be joined by his fellow Dragons.
Euan Aitken and Joel Thompson were initially named in the Country Origin side on Sunday, but now Timmins remains in coach Craig Fitzibbon's camp with Jack de Belin, Paul Vaughan and Tariq Sims.
