The Dragons are out to keep the momentum rolling as they travel north to take on a well-rested Dolphins side. 

St George Illawarra have won back-to-back games and they're eyeing three-straight at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night. 

Young playmaker Lykhan King-Togia is set for a mouth-watering battle with Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa, with the duo two of the most promising players in the competition. 

Fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will have the chance to hit top gear for his club side before he goes back into Queensland camp and he's eager to join the Maroons in winning form. 

The Dolphins claimed a dominant 44-8 win over the Bulldogs before last week's bye and they're eager to hit the ground running on Friday night.

Dolphins: Star hooker Jeremy Marshall-King (leg) and lock Max Plath (foot) will make their returns from injury, but there has been some late changes, with Plath moving to the bench and Kurt Donoghoe the new starting at lock, while Marshall-King will start the game. Plath replaces Ray Stone in the squad. JMK's return pushed Harrison Graham to 18th man. Jake Averillo has shifted back to the centres to accommodate the return of star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. 

Dragons: Some late changes, with Blake Lawrie and Raymond Faitala-Mariner come into the run-on side with Jack de Belin and Luciano Leilua reverting to the interchange. Emre Guler is the side's replacement player. Earlier, medical staff opted to hold Christian Tuipoluto out of last week's win over the Knights, but the winger will make his return from a hamstring injury. Jaydn Su'A is out with an ankle injury.
