The\u00a0St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> are near the top of the NRL’s injury list, and have now added another unlucky name to the tally.<\/p>\n

This time, it’s Blake Lawrie<\/a>, who has found himself bedridden in the hospital for the last three days.<\/p>\n

Lawrie had suffered a cut to his knee, according to The Daily Telegraph, which soon became badly infected and in need of medical attention.<\/p>\n

He was then hospitalised on Monday, and was forced to stay there for the last three days as doctors attended to the wound.<\/p>\n

It got so bad that Lawrie was forced to be put on an intravenous drip, effectively ruling him out of the Dragons’ final match of the year.<\/p>\n

Lawrie joins a stack of players unavailable for the Dragons in their clash against the Penrith Panthers<\/a>, with seven unavailable for selection due to injury.<\/p>\n
