The Western Suburbs Magpies return to home soil this week after falling to the ladder-leading North Sydney Bears last weekend.
The ninth-placed Magpies will be taking on the twelfth-placed Dragons at Lidcombe on Sunday 16, August at 1.00pm for the Roy Masters Cup.
The backline sees plenty of changes with Jack Attard returning at fullback, Starford To’a lining up in the centres, and Heamasi Makasini and Jeral Skelton the wingers.
Returning to the NSW Cup stage is Josh Schuster, who will don the #6 jersey alongside halfback Javon Andrews.
A shuffle to the forward pack sees Mavrik Geyer start in the front row, Charlie Murray line up at lock, and Josese Lanyon at hooker.
