The Dragons have every right to feel good about themselves heading into Sunday's meeting with the Warriors.
After starting the season outside of most people's top eights, new coach Anthony Griffin has got everyone headed in the right direction. They've won four in a row to be sitting in fourth spot.
A feature of their surge has been the play of their forwards. That unit will be put to a stern test against the Warriors.
A last-minute loss to Manly last weekend is something they'll want to make amends for pretty quickly.

Key match-up
Corey Norman v Kodi Nikorima: Both are potential match-winners on their day. Norman has benefited from the strong play of his forwards so far this year, while Nikorima has had to readjust to the loss of halves partner Chanel Harris-Tavita to injury and the arrival of Sean O'Sullivan.
Stat attack
The Dragons have averaged 18 dummy-half runs per match over the opening five rounds - the most in the NRL. The Warriors average just eight per match.
