The Dragons have been dealt three hammer blows, with Jake de Belin, Hamish Stewart and Hame Sele all suffering nasty head knocks which has ended their time against the Warriors.
The first two came in an act of “friendly fire”, with de Belin and Stewart flying into a tackle on James Fisher-Harris only to knock each other out.
De Belin, playing in his 250th NRL game, and Stewart were both deemed to have shown category one symptoms which triggered 18th man Tyrell Sloan to join the action.

Sele was one of the men who joined the action after that pair’s head knock, but it took only 14 more minutes and he followed.

The middle forward’s head came in contact with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak’s hip and he immediately came reeling out of the tackle.
“Another problem here. Hame Sele… caught in an awkward position there off the ferocity of the carry,” Smith said.
“Shane Flanagan, a concerned coach for the safety and health of his players has come to the sideline to check on de Belin and Stewart, and now will have concerns for Hame Sele.”
