Dragons v Titans: Gutho's milestone; Brimson sidelined
If the Dragons are to avoid the first wooden spoon in joint venture history they simply must take care of the Titans at Kogarah in Round 21.
Currently sitting six points behind Josh Hannay's rapidly improving outfit, the Dragons have three successive home games to mount a late challenge to climb out of the cellar.
The Titans have won two of their past four games and hit their straps in attack last Sunday with seven tries in a 38-32 victory over the Sea Eagles.
When these sides met in Round 4 at Cbus Super Stadium it was the Titans prevailing 22-14 on the back of a monster metre-eating display by Phil Sami, who will be joining the Dragons come 2027 but this weekend will be out to sink them.

Team News
Dragons: Just the one late change to Dean Young's side in his first game as fully minted head coach, with prop Emre Guler elevated from the reserves to the interchange in place of Moses Suli. Fullback Clint Gutherson will play his 250th NRL game.
Titans: No late changes for the Titans on game day. Kurtis Morrin will have to wait another week to return from a leg injury, so Siale Faeamani is on the six-man bench for the trip to Kogarah, where he's looking to play his first NRL since Round 9. Jaylan De Groot is in the centres in place of AJ Brimson, who suffered a Category 1 head knock against the Sea Eagles.
