Sea Eagles vs Dragons – Thursday 7:50PM (AEDT) at 4 Pines Park
Sea Eagles
Jason Saab returns from an ankle injury which pushes Clayton Faulalo out of the 17. Olakau’atu has been named to start despite an injury last week.
Dragons
Christian Tuipulotu has been ruled out with a hamstring injury from anywhere between 2-6 weeks (awaiting further info from club). Mat Feagia has won the starting spot on the favoured left edge over Sione Finau. One to consider for draft players.

Viliame Kikau has been named in the extended squad and is a chance to come into the 17 on gameday. Sitili Tupouniua returns from suspension off the bench. Jacob Kiraz is a Supercoach weapon and should be a big consideration after his performance pre bye in his first game of 2025.

Mitchell Moses returns for the Eels in what is a very needed boost for the struggling side. Jack Williams and Kelma Tuilagi also return, starting in the front and back row respectively. Joe Ofahengaue, Ryan Matterson & Dean Hawkins all drop out.
