Newcastle Knights v St George Illawarra Dragons
A bit to go through here.
Newcastle lost Edrick Lee and Tex Hoy. Gehamat Shibasaki comes in on the wing with Mason Lino at five-eighth.
The Dragons lose Euan Aitken and Adam Clune. Aitken's replacement is straightforward with Wiliame coming in at centre, while Clune's omission mean Hunt moves to half, McInnes to hooker, Ford to lock and Tariq Sims promoted to starting second row. Fuimaono joins the bench.
