This is a must-win for the Rabbitohs to get their finals run back on track but the Dragons will be up for the fight on the back of two tight losses.
Souths star Jai Arrow is confident he’ll play despite going down with back spasms in their loss to Cronulla last week.

Arrow was in agony on Saturday night in Perth when he slumped to the turf and struggled to get off the field despite having two trainers there to help him.
The 28-year-old was able to get back on the exercise bike 10 minutes later but did not return to the field and later underwent scans.
“I was a bit scared at the time, but it was just back spasms which kind of made my legs weak,” Arrow said on Tuesday.
“It was a different feeling because I haven’t had back problems before. It’s a bit tight, but I’m sure I’ll be fine for this weekend.”
The Rabbitohs are desperate for Arrow to play given regular props Tom Burgess (suspension) and Junior Tatola (injury) are both missing. Shaquai Mitchell has been named to replace Burgess in the starting side.
Dragons star Moses Suli is hopeful of returning from a calf injury to partner Max Feagai in the centres with Jack Bird and Zac Lomax ruled out.
