Round 14 gets under way at Win Stadium with St. George hosting North Queensland.

The Dragons posted their fifth win of the season last week, their first in three weeks, with a 14-8 win over Newcastle in Newcastle, with St. George fullback Josh Duggan crossing twice.

The win sees the Dragons four points outside of the top eight and with a Bye to follow this game, they’ll leave nothing to spare as they try to keep tabs with the top half of the competition.

North Queensland recorded their fifth successive loss last week, losing to Canterbury 36-26 in Townsville and things keep getting worse.

Speculation is rife that Cowboys Coach, Neil Henry’s days are numbered and earlier this week, key forward James Tamou was caught drink driving and is currently under investigation by the club and will not line up for the team this week.

The Cowboys have won the past two encounters between the two clubs but in their current state of disarray, they’ll struggle to make it three in a row.
