Will we see the St George Illawarra Dragons play their best football and beat the Cronulla Sharks in Saturday night football? Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.30pm AEST.
The Dragons are coming off a loss to the Souths Sydney Rabbitohs, while the Sharks have had the bye, and both teams are looking for a change in fortunes.
The Dragons have won seven out of the last ten games against Cronulla and will aim to continue that trend.
The last time these two sides played was back in Round 3, where the Dragons won 16-12.
The Dragons are aiming for their first win under new coach Paul McGregor but for that to happen they need star halves Benji Marshall and Gareth Widdop to fire.
Despite the loss, the Dragons have kept the same side that played the Rabbitohs on Monday night and Marshall might finally secure his first win for the Red V against a depleted Sharks team who are missing 11 first graders.
Cronulla will be without Todd Carney and Paul Gallen and could struggle to score points.
They have made mass changes to their side, with Nathan Gardner returning to first grade at fullback, Michael Gordon moving to the centres, making room for Jacob Gagan and Fa’amanu Brown to make their debuts on the wing and at five-eighth, respectively.
Can the Sharks overcome the odds and beat a Dragons side who are determined to get back into the winners circle?
Join The Roar from 7.30pm (AEST) for live score updates and debate in our live blog.
