St George Illawarra interim coach Dean Young has named his mandatory 21-man squad ahead of the Dragons' Women in League Round clash against the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday, September 20.
The Dragons will contest the Knights in the sixth-annual Alex McKinnon Cup, a contest that the Red V have never lost. McKinnon debuted for St George Illawarra in 2011 before heading to Newcastle the year following.
McKinnon's career was tragically cut short in the early rounds of 2014 after a tackle gone wrong resulted in the now 28-year-old becoming a quadriplegic.
Max Feagai has been named for his NRL debut from the interchange. The 236th player to represent St George Illawarra in its history is joined by Tariq Sims (shoulder) on the bench.
Tyrell Fuimaono and Billy Brittain (concussion) are the two players to drop out as a result.
