The suspension-riddled St George Illawarra Dragons ‘host’ the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium in a match with some serious finals ramifications. Follow along with live scores on The Roar from 1:50pm (AEST) as Sunday footy kicks off.
Sitting seventh, albeit with an 8-9 record, the Dragons can at least maintain their one-game gap on eighth and ninth with a win here. Meanwhile, the Titans at 6-11 are just about clinging onto hopes of pushing into the top eight, but will need an exceptional run home to pull it off.
Be it the 32-18 loss to an undermanned Manly, or the biosecurity breach involving 12 players, the Dragons have had a month from hell.
Corey Norman is the latest to be forced to serve a ban for his role in the infamous party, and will be replaced in the number six by rookie Jayden Sullivan. However, Anthony Griffin will gain more players than they lose this week. Matt Dufty, Tyrell Fuimaono and Kaide Ellis are back from their own suspensions, while Mathew Feagai will also start for the first time since Round 9 following an ankle injury.
The Titans have also had to make changes following their 26-8 loss to the Eels, with co-captain Jamal Fogarty (hand) the biggest casualty. An elbow injury has also grounded hooker Erin Clark, while Phillip Sami’s ankle injury opens the door for first-year player Greg Marzhew to start on the wing.

Commiserations DP. Despite the Charity Shield fully expected the Dragons to be in the 8. I think the recruitment of Maquire was a mistake as from that point they seemed to go backward. The BBQ showed some players have no respect for the club so seeing the back of some of those guys might be a bonus. The Dragons have a tough run in and can’t see them making the 8 now. I feel sorry enough for the supporters can’t even bring myself to sledge my Brother in Law. Fingers crossed for you for next year if indeed this was the end of your season.

I am mate, it's been awful. But once every bloke with an Australian flag as his profile picture starts posting, 'When's the next bbq?', the joke is clearly starting to wear thin.

The Dragons simply don't have the troops. It's a very poor roster.

A lot of disappointed Saints supporters here at Cbus. Saints defence was terrible. The only good thing was sitting on the half way line,perfect position, terrible result. Hate to think what Souths might do next week.

Dragons need a team BBQ as a team bonding session :laughing:

Can’t attack, won’t defend, can’t hold the ball or pass. Making the Titans look like the Storm.

The BBQ demonstrated the professionalism and attitude of your players.

Pathetic from Saints, utter rubbish from so called first grade footy players.

Where does Dufty get off flapping off at his winger over his own dumb error.
