Show Preview
Round 5 of the NRL season continues tonight when the Newcastle Knights and St George Illawarra Dragons square off at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle. Join The Roar for live scores from 8pm (AEDT).
Kiwi prop Leo Thompson will return from a one-game ban for Newcastle and Dane Gagai is back from his undisclosed medical condition. Tyson Gamble has been dropped for Jackson Hastings with Jack Cogger sliding over to five-eighth.
Dragons coach Shane Flanagan makes just one change, swapping Hame Sele and Michael Molo.
Newcastle have been dreadful and St George Illawarra only marginally better in the first four rounds but the home-ground advantage should be enough for the Knights. Knights by 4
