Sea Eagles v Dragons: Saab good to go; Feagai called up
Having won two of their past four matches and lost the other two by a single point, the Dragons loom as a dangerous opponent for a Sea Eagles outfit down a superstar fullback and down on confidence.
The Red V are coming off a strong win over the Titans while Manly have lost two on the bounce to Melbourne and Cronulla without Tom Trbojevic, who faces at least another week on the sideline with a knee injury.
With their back five combining for 849 metres, the Dragons piled on seven tries to blow the Titans off the park in their best attacking display of the season.
The Sea Eagles made the long journey to Perth and came home empty handed so they will enjoy the return to home turf at Brookie where they have won three of four this season.

Sea Eagles: No further game day changes after Toafofoa Sipley was elevated to the starting side in place of Josh Aloiai on Wednesday, with Clayton Faulalo added to the bench. Jason Saab (ankle) returns on the wing.
Dragons: A late switch an hour before kick-off with Dylan Egan to start and Luciano Leilua going to the bench. The loss of winger Christian Tuipulotu with a hamstring injury sees Mat Feagai move from 18th man to the starting side in the only change to the squad that downed the Titans. Sione Finau is the new 18th man.
