Twice the Feagai
No, you're not seeing double. For the first time since 2021 the Feagai twins are back together on the field as Max joins Mat in the side.
An injury to rampaging winger Tautau Moga (shoulder) last week opened the door for Max to re-join the side resulting in a Feagai twin on each wing for the Dragons.
Otherwise, there are no other changes to the side from last week aside from winger Sione Finau listed among the reserves as cover.
Bulldogs club favourite returns
The men from the Bulldogs are searching for their fourth win of the season after suffering three losses in a row.
Playmaker Kyle Flanagan has paid the price for the Bulldogs' form and has been dropped from the side for club favourite Josh Reynolds, who moves up from the bench. Andrew Davey is also out, so Kurtis Morrin and Sam Hughes join the interchange.
Forward Fa'amanu Brown is set to return two weeks ahead of schedule from a dislocated elbow suffered in Round 4 and is listed as the replacement player for now.
Your chance to win
Don't forget to purchase a 50-50 raffle ticket for your chance to win while raising money! 50% of the prize pool goes to the Convoy and the remaining 50% goes to the winner. You can purchase your tickets on the day, or in advance through their online portal here.
Half time extravaganza
