Live: NZ Warriors v St George-Illawarra Dragons, NRL

After toppling the defending champions on their home ground at ‘Magic Round’, the Warriors must now motivate themselves for the winless, bottom-of-the-table Dragons, currently riding a 14-game losing streak.

The visitors are without Origin stars Mitch Barnett and Kurt Capewell, but the home side have a handful of representative stars struggling for form and capable of an upset.

In a late change, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck returns from shoulder injury to the Warriors midfield, while the Dragons lose second-rower/centre Jaydn Su’A to a calf strain.

Kickoff is at 7.30pm.
