St George Illawarra and Wests Tigers kick off Round 21 with both sides desperate for the two competition points to climb away from the bottom of the ladder and avoid the wooden spoon.
The Dragons welcome Tyrell Sloan back into the fray after he had been sidelined with a calf injury, while Ben Hunt is also back from Origin duty with Queensland to boost the side's spine.
