Western Suburbs Magpies Knock On Effect NSW Cup Coach Wayne Lambkin has named his team to take on the Dragons this Sunday, in the curtain-raiser to the NRL match kicking off later in the afternoon.

Austin Dias and Fonua Pole both start at prop this week after coming off the interchange bench against South Sydney.
Henry O’Kane returns to the side at second-row after a two-try outing in Jersey Flegg, with Tom Freebairn moving to the middle at lock.
