Match preview:

The St George Illawarra Dragons are looking to consolidate their top-four spot when they host the New Zealand Warriors at WIN Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 3pm (AEST).

The Dragons’ recent form has been patchy, with only two wins from their last five matches. Those victories were against Parramatta and the Cowboys, while they’ve lost to the Storm, Roosters and Tigers.

That slump leaves them sitting in fourth spot, with Penrith, Cronulla and Brisbane breathing down their necks.

Still, coach Paul McGregor has named the same 17 that lost 36-18 to the Roosters last week at Allianz Stadium.

The Warriors are also desperate for two points after having just one win, against the Broncos, to show for their efforts over the last five weeks. They’ve lost to Cronulla, Penrith, the Storm and the Titans during that time.

They are currently sitting in eighth spot and need to return to the winners’ list to shore up their hopes of playing finals football for the first time since 2011.

Coach Stephen Kearney has bolstered his team with the return of hooker Issac Luke and second-rower Tohu Harris from injury, as well as lock Adam Blair from suspension.

Prediction
The Red V to sneak home by 4 in a tough match.
