In team changes - both sides lose their #16. The Dragons get Tyrone McCarthy on debut replacing Jacob Host on the bench, while Joel Edwards will play on the bench for the Wests Tigers in place of Robbie Farah.

Welcome to Sunday's second contest from ANZ Stadium where the struggling Dragons and Tigers come together. It's Benji Marshall's 250th game but it's all overshadowed in both camps - the Wests Tigers have dramas between coach Jason Taylor and former captain Robbie Farah, while the Dragons have had plenty in the media about the governance of their club.
