Francis Molo (suspension), Jacob Liddle (concussion), Jaydn Su'A (quadriceps) and Hame Sele (hamstring) have all been named to come into the side for the Dragons.

A Kingsgrove Colts junior, Sele made his NRL debut for the Dragons in Round 6, 2017 and has been named on the interchange for his first game in the Red V in 2,095 days.
