The St George Illawarra Dragons have provided an injury update on Tyson Frizell and Josh Dugan, who both suffered injuries during the Round 17 clash against the Gold Coast Titans on Friday, June 30.

“Tyson came from the field on Friday night with a rib injury which occurred upon impact with the ground,” said Head of Athletic Performance Nathan Pickworth.

“He had a scan over the weekend and it has revealed a new rib cartilage injury,” said Pickworth.

“We advised the NSW Blues Medical Staff of the results with indications on Tyson’s playing and training capacity for Origin III and the importance of Tyson’s welfare in their training and playing plans throughout this camp”.

“Josh suffered a right quad cork in the game, it has settled down well and does not require any follow-up investigation”.

Both Dugan and Frizell have been named in the Blues team for Origin III and the Dragons have asked NSWRL to ensure that the club is kept up to date with the training and medical decisions regarding Frizell on a daily basis.
