There is just the one change to the team which was announced on Tuesday with Justin Matamua dropping out of the extended squad.

Lovely night for footy in Mudgee with the temperature around 22 degrees and a moderate south-easterly breeze.

The Dragons had a big win in the NSW Cup trial match which was played as the curtain-raiser to the NRL Pre-season Challenge, beating Wests Magpies 58-6.
