St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has amended his squad to 19 ahead of the Dragons' Round 22 squad against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Dragons have suffered a blow on the eve of the game with Russell Packer (knee) ruled out of the Rabbitohs clash.
"Russell landed awkwardly in a tackle against the Knights on Saturday where he injured his knee," Head of Athletic Performance Nathan Pickworth said.
"Subsequent scans revealed a low grade strain of knee ligaments. His rehab will continue over the weekend and he'll likely return to play within the next fortnight."
Luciano Leilua is the other unlucky player to miss out.
