The Vodafone Junior Warriors will start as selected in their fourth-round NYC clash against St George Illawarra at UOW Jubilee Oval in Sydney today (4.15pm kick-off local time; 6.15pm NZT).
The Grant Pocklington-coached side was tantalisingly close to its first victory of the year last Saturday, falling 22-24 to a late converted try by Canterbury-Bankstown.
The Dragons come into today’s encounter with two wins and a loss in their first three starts.
