The Rabbitohs will be without captain Cameron Murray (hip), Jye Gray (ankle), Isaiah Tass (ankle) and Dean Hawkins (quad) who succumbed to injuries last week.

Dion Teaupa and Matthew French have both been named to make their NRL debuts whilst Gehamat Shibasaki is set for his club debut on the wing.

Siliva Havili starts in the No.13 jersey with Jai Arrow shifting out to an edge in place of the suspended Jacob Host.

The two sides last faced each other at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Round 15 last year with the Dragons holding on for a memorable victory in front of a 17,357-strong crowd.
