The Saints have lost their last two and have conceded 16 or more in seven of their last eight. The Dragons rank third in scoring and sixth in defence.

Final ThoughtsThe Dragons looked tired against the Tigers last week and can be forgiven for having an Origin hangover with the amount of players they had featured in the pinnacle of the game. The Dragons have won their last two against the Cowboys and need to win this match to stop their slide out of the Top 4. The Red V will bounce here against a Cowboys side that looks lost for answers.
