The Dragons can solidify their spot in the top eight when they host the Bulldogs are remarkably in contention for a top-four berth. St George Illawarra pulled off the upset of the season in Melbourne last week and coach Shane Flanagan has named the same 17. Flanagan reportedly has a point to prove against the Dogs after the club hired rookie Cameron Ciraldo without even offering the premiership coach an interview.
Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo also has the luxury of naming the same 17 that beat the Raiders in Round 22, with Josh Curran cleared of a shoulder injury suffered in that clash. The Bulldogs are chasing their 12th win of the season - they won just seven games last year - which will all but certainly clinch their finals spot. 1.
