THE TEAM NEWS

ST. GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS

• St. George Illawarra Dragons pushed Sydney Roosters all the way earlier in the week but fell just short and suffered a one-point loss in what was their third defeat in-a-row.
• The Dragons were valiant in their efforts but need more quality when it matters with pressure mounting on boss Anthony Griffin. They have lost Tautau Moga to a shoulder injury with Max Feagai taking his spot on the wing.

Starting 13: Sloan, Mat. Feagai, Suli, Lomax, Max Feagai, Amone, B. Hunt, M. Molo, Mbye, Lawrie, Murdoch-Masila, Bird, De Belin – Interchanges: Liddle, J. Hunt, Couchman, Kerr – Reserves: Musgrove, Sullivan, Burns, Fifita, Finau

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS

• Canterbury Bulldogs suffered their third loss in succession as they were downed by Cronulla Sharks last week and will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
• The Dogs have opted to make a change in the halves with club favourite Josh Reynolds coming into the starting line-up at five-eighth with Kyle Flanagan dropping out.

Starting 13: Perham, Casey, Averillo, Alamoti, Burns, Reynolds, Burton, King, Mahoney, Pangai Jnr., Waddell, Preston, Faitala-Mariner – Interchanges: Morrin, Okunbor, Hughes, Sutton – Reserves: Brown, Oloapu, Hoffman, Skelton, Flanagan

THE PREDICTION

St. George Illawarra Dragons and Canterbury Bulldogs are both languishing at the wrong end of the ladder with just five wins between them so far this season. They do battle here with both losing their last three fixtures so there is a lot riding on this game for the pair. There is little to split the two but it should be a tight affair either way so expect the winning margin to be 1-12 points.
