They face a consistent Dragons side who currently sit second and have their eyes set on a top two finish.
The last time these sides met, the Saints comeback from a halftime deficit to defeat the Raiders 36-28 at Seiffert Oval.

The Raiders will be looking to snap a two-match losing streak when they face the Dragons on Saturday morning.
Canberra have hit a form slump in the back end of the season which has seen the Green Machine drop to fourth on the ladder.
The Raiders defeated the Dragons 38-28 back in round 12 and will be looking to replicate that this weekend as they look to carry some important form into the finals series.
The top four on the ladder remains tight, with only four points separating them as Canberra look to push for back-to-back minor premierships.
