5 players named for NSWRL
Despite his team having a dismal year, Dragons captain Cameron McInnes has been rewarded for his standout form with inclusion in NSW's 27-man extended Origin squad for the end-of-year series.
St George Illawarra pair Paul Vaughan and Tariq Sims are notable absentees, while backline candidates Zac Lomax and David Nofoaluma were also passed over.Their absence bodes well for the likes of South Sydney's Campbell Graham and Penrith's Stephen Crichton, with another 22 members of the Blues extended squad to now come from finals-bound sides.
The eight-point win over a second-string Storm side featured the long-awaited debuts of 19-year-old half Jayden Sullivan and prop Eddie Blacker. For departing coach Dean Young, an Illawarra product himself and the son of legendary St George figure Craig, the Red V roots should form the basis of Griffin's rebuild.
