The Dragons are determined to build on last week's win when they host the Cowboys in their final home game of the season.
St George Illawarra snapped a five-game losing streak to defeat the Warriors 26-18 and they are eager to keep the momentum building.
The Dragons remain a chance of playing finals football, but need to defeat North Queensland to keep their top-six hopes alive.
The Cowboys are firmly entrenched in the six despite suffering a 30-0 loss to the Roosters last weekend.
Home finals remain up for grabs and North Queensland are desperate to bounce back as they look to build momentum for the play offs.
