Timestamp: Thu 4 Sep 2025, 08:01 AM

The Dragons are determined to build on last week's win when they host the Cowboys in their final home game of the season.

St George Illawarra snapped a five-game losing streak to defeat the Warriors 26-18 and they are eager to keep the momentum building.

The Dragons remain a chance of playing finals football, but need to defeat North Queensland to keep their top-six hopes alive.

The Cowboys are firmly entrenched in the six despite suffering a 30-0 loss to the Roosters last weekend.

Home finals remain up for grabs and North Queensland are desperate to bounce back as they look to build momentum for the play offs.

Team News

Dragons: Lock Hannah Southwell is straight back into the starting side in her return from suspension in the only change to the team that defeated the Warriors last week. Raecene McGregor has not been named in the extended squad after her late withdrawal last week. Southwell's return sees Trinity Tauaneai shift to the bench, with Ahlivia Ingram the other new face on the interchange.

Cowboys: Abigail Roache has been named to return from a concussion suffered at training a couple of weeks ago, with the centre to replace Jakiya Whitfeld (shoulder). A big change in the halves, with Rosie Kelly named at halfback and Tahlulah Tillett moving to the reserves. China Polata has again been named in the starting side, but could make a late switch with Essay Banu, as was the case last week.
