St George Illawarra Dragons NRL head coach Shane Flanagan has updated his squad to face the Roosters at Allianz Stadium on Anzac Day.
Mikaele Ravalawa has been forced out with knee soreness coming off a short turnaround. Jack Bird returns from a one-week concussion layoff in the centres, with Zac Lomax moving out one spot to the wing. Viliami Fifita and Toby Couchman also drop out, with Jesse Marschke and Michael Molo remaining in the 19-man squad.
Fa’amanu Brown earns another shot off the interchange after making his club debut last week.
Jack de Belin is set to appear in his ninth Anzac Cup outing with Ben Hunt, Zac Lomax, and Blake Lawrie all preparing for their sixth.
