It was tough for Mikaele Ravalawa watching from the sidelines while suspended the past two weeks and with the Dragons young talent, the Fiji international is relieved to have regained his spot.
The suspension of Ravalawa (shoulder charge) and Jordan Pereira (high tackle) for incidents in the ANZAC Day loss to Sydney Roosters and a rib injury suffered by Cody Ramsey against Wests Tigers opened the way for the Feagai twins, Max and Mat, to play together in last Sunday’s 32-12 defeat of Canterbury.
However, Mat now faces six weeks on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury that cut short his debut after 70 minutes and Ravalawa will take his right wing spot opposite Melbourne’s Josh Addo-Carr in Sunday’s Magic Round clash at Suncorp Stadium.

The history books will tell you South Sydney cannot win the comp after they were embarrassed 50-0 by the perfect Storm as Josh Addo-Carr became the first player in 71 years to score six tries in a game.
History was then made in the 72nd minute as Melbourne notched the half-century. “It’s great for him and the whole team – a lot of work is done before Josh can use his pace to get into the corner,” Storm coach Craig Bellamy said. “We’ve got [an even] longer turnaround now. There will be a fair bit of spruiking and he’ll have his shirt off.″ If anybody questioned Addo-Carr’s standing as the best winger in the game, they would have gone to bed on Thursday night knowing they had seen a man in his prime. As Bellamy said, “He’s the first winger picked in Origin and the first winger picked in the Australian side”.
