LAWSON EARNS ANOTHER SHOT

Round 13 debutant Nathan Lawson has again been named to start on the wing having enjoyed a strong debut at Jubilee on Friday night.

The 26-year-old put together a tidy 180-metre, seven-tackle break performance in his 80 minutes as the Dragons stormed to their second-consecutive win.

He partners Christian Tuipulotu, who is set to return from a hamstring injury, on the wing for this Friday night's matchup against the Dolphins.
