St George Illawarra coach Daniel Lacey has amended the Dragons' Women's Premiership squad ahead of the Round 3 clash against the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, September 22.
Eva Karpani and Josie Strong are the unlucky duo to miss out for the Dragons. Holli Wheeler is promoted to the front row as a result.
Kicking off at 5:10pm, the Dragons require a win over the Roosters to qualify for next weekend's inaugural NRL Holden Women's Premiership grand final against the Brisbane Broncos.
The Dragons (-14 points differential) can only afford a one point loss to the Roosters (-16) to otherwise qualify for the grand final on percentages.
