St George Illawarra Dragons interim coach Ryan Carr has announced his squad to face the Sea Eagles in Wollongong in Round 22.
Late mail: No further changes to the 17. Ryan Couchman is 18th man in jersey 20.
24-hour update: Jack Bird drops out of the side, with Zane Musgrove moving into the 17 on the interchange. Sione Finau and Ryan Couchman remain in the reserves.
Connor Muhleisen has been named to make his NRL debut for the Dragons off the interchange following the departure of Moses Mbye.
Having come through the Steelers system, Muhleisen earns an opportunity after establishing himself as a key member of the Knock On Effect Cup squad over the past two seasons.
The 22-year-old is a hooker by trade but has also spent time in the halves and as a middle forward in recent years.
The addition of Muhleisen is the only change to the 17 that finished on top of the Wests Tigers last week at WIN Stadium.
