St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has named his mandatory 21-man squad ahead of the Dragons' Round 19 clash against the North Queensland Cowboys at 1300Smiles Stadium, Townsville.
Nene Macdonald (foot) has been named to play the Cowboys, although the severity of his injury is yet to be fully determined. Patrick Herbert and Jordan Pereira's berths in the reserves list could lead to potential NRL debuts.
