Benji Marshall remains a good chance to return from a hamstring injury for the Dragons in their clash with the Warriors on Sunday though centre Tim Lafai has been all but ruled out by high performance manager Tony Ayoub.

Marshall – who hasn’t played since – completed the full session on Friday and will travel with the team.
“Benji’s coming along really well but we’ve said that a couple of times in the last few weeks,” Ayoub said.
“He got through the full session [on Friday] so unless there’s any repercussions early on [Saturday] morning he’ll travel with us. He’s worked really hard and I’m sure we’re going to see the best of him from here on in.”
Lafai is unlikely to play after picking up a knee injury in the win over the Roosters.
“Unfortunately Tim’s succumbed to bit of a medial ligament tear. He strained his medial ligament just before halftime [against the Roosters] and did really well to get through the rest of the game,” Ayoub said.
“He didn’t train fully [on Friday] and was pretty sore after training so that’s pretty telling on him and whether he plays.”
