Key match-ups
Gareth Widdop v Alex Brimson
Gareth Widdop plays his final game for the Dragons and you can fully expect the club captain and English international to be fired up for it.
Widdop crossed for his first try of the year last week, after missing majority of the year through a second consecutive shoulder reconstruction. But in his nine games this year, the 30-year-old has produced four try assists and forced five dropouts.
He lines up against Alex Brimson who has scored 11 tries in 36 appearances in the top grade with four of those coming this season. Although injury has hampered his time on the field, the 20-year-old has five try assists and averages over 100 running metres per game.
Paul Vaughan v Jai Arrow
At just 23 years of age, Arrow already has State of Origin honours on his CV and it's not hard to see why. The tireless worker has 491 tackles (39 misses), 50 tackle breaks and 812 post-contact metres in 16 appearances this season.
But he fronts up against the experienced Paul Vaughan who boasts State of Origin honours as well as international appearances for Italy. Vaughan will play his 150th first grade match on Saturday and will look to finish the year with a bang.
Vaughan has amassed 729 tackles at an impressive 91.4% efficiency (33 misses), two tries, 982 post-contact metres and 17 tackle breaks in 22 appearances this season. Keep an eye on Vaughan ensuring his 150th milestone a memorable one.
