The action this day will wrap up with Milton-Ulladulla's Justin Holbrook and his Titans attempting to win their first game of the season against Wests Tigers.

The final match of the round will pit two winless sides, Canterbury-Bankstown and St George Illawarra, against one another on Monday.

Other Group Seven products named for the Dragons include Gerringong's Tariq Sims and Shellharbour's Trent Merrin - with Pambula's Euan Aitken on the bench.

Tathra's Adam Elliot will start at lock for the Bulldogs.
