Winning was the best medicine for Warriors halfback Stacey Jones and Roosters five-eighth Brad Fittler who suddenly look a whole lot healthier. Both players went into their games under injury clouds, and whilst Jones will need to back-up on the weekend, it appears that with matches under their belts that these two key playmakers will survive the finals series. The Bulldogs now have a question mark hanging over the fitness of Braith Anasta. Whilst there is no report that his foot stress fracture was re-injured, the four weeks he spent in plaster may have significantly affected his match fitness. He will be relying on the Bulldogs to survive elimination next week to play himself back into winning match form, as Jones and Fittler have done.
