The Round 18 NRL team lists round are in with St George Illawarra forced into mass changes following the suspensions handed down to the 12 players who breached the NRL's biosecurity protocols by attending a house party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While former Dragon Paul Vaughan, who hosted the party, has been sacked by the club, the remaining 12 players were issued one-game suspensions and individual fines.<\/p>\n

The suspensions handed down to the players must be split across a minimum of two rounds and a maximum of four rounds.<\/p>\n

Today we got a sneak peek into how the club plans to deploy the bans, with three of the 'dirty dozen' – Matt Dufty, Tyrell Fuimaono and Kaide Ellis – left out of this Friday's match against Manly as a result.<\/p>\n

The Dragons will also be without duo Zac Lomax and Daniel Alvaro, with both players refusing to sign a sworn statement<\/a> about the party, which leaves both in limbo.<\/p>\n

\"Dragons<\/p>\n

The remaining seven players – Corey Norman, Jack Bird, Josh McGuire, Blake Lawrie, Jack de Belin, Josh Kerr and Gerard Beale – have all been named.<\/p>\n

In other team news, the Parramatta Eels will welcome back hooker Reed Mahoney from a shoulder injury, while the Manly Sea Eagles have been boosted by the return of Josh Schuster from a calf issue, as well as the return of Origin stars Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans, who will both play subject to their fitness following Wednesday night's Game Three.<\/p>\n
