NRL late mail: #Macca300 v Rabbitohs
St George Illawarra coach Anthony Griffin has finalised his 17 ahead of the Dragons' Round 15 clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Thursday, June 16 (7:50pm).
Andrew McCullough will play his 300th NRL game and will start in the No. 9 jumper in place of Moses Mbye.
Mikaele Ravalawa (hamstring) and Mat Feagai (non-Covid illness) return on the wing at the expense of Tautau Moga and last-start NRL debutant Jonathon Reuben.
The absence of Josh McGuire (groin) has caused a reshuffle in the forward pack with New South Wales Origin forward Tariq Sims the new face in the Dragons' 17. There is no timeframe on McGuire's return-to-play timeframe at this stage.
Tautau Moga joins Josh Kerr, Billy Burns and Jayden Sullivan as the players to drop out of Tuesday's initial 22-man squad. Jaiyden Hunt is 18th man.
The Dragons will once again wear their 2022 indigenous jerseys against South Sydney, to be auctioned off after Thursday night's proceedings. All proceeds will go to the Dragons Foundation.
