Last week the Dragons got the win they needed to stay in the finals race, overcoming a disrupted preparation to beat the Cowboys in Wollongong.

But the Cowboys ain't no Storm and it's fair to say the Dragons have to approach Thursday's clash with the kind of intensity, energy and single-minded resolve more suited to a grand final.

The fact they don't have to travel and usually play well in Wollongong should work in their favour, but their opponents clearly don't fear being in enemy territory if their 6-1 road record is any guide.

The Storm held off the Roosters last week to remain alone at the top of the ladder and will like their chances against the hot and cold Dragons.

Team news

Dragons: Tim Lafai is rated a good chance of returning on Thursday night after falling short in his quest to return from syndesmosis surgery early last week. Patrick Kaufusi will take on his former side in his club debut for the Dragons. St George Illawarra have won seven of their past nine games at WIN Stadium. Lachlan Timm and Jordan Pereira were the two players omitted 24 hours before game time.

Storm: Storm coach Craig Bellamy said on Wednesday that Jahrome Hughes would return after missing last weekend with a back complaint. Billy Walters will make his NRL debut. Solomone Kata comes in for Will Chambers (Queensland duty) and will make his club debut. The Storm have won five of their past seven games against the Dragons. Max King and Harry Grant were the two players left out 24 hours out from kick-off.
