The Dragons are set to swing the axe at the selection table ahead of Tuesday night's teams.
St George Illawarra are currently sitting 12th on the ladder after being humiliated by Newcastle on Sunday in a 45-12 drubbing.
And Dragons coach Paul McGregor has conceded that change is on the horizon.
“We’ve got to have a real good look at why,” McGregor told the Daily Telegraph.
“We can use the experience missing on the sidelines. We can use the learning that we’re getting at the moment.
“But the same people are making the same errors and poor reads on a weekly basis.
“So it might be time for change.”

McGregor will hit them with a stick of two week old celery.
How have some of the reggies been going, Marsters, Pearson, Timms Lovadua, might be worth a shot ?
I reckon the changes will come in the backs and bench.
I would go.
1 = Lomax
2 = Dufty / Pearson
3 = Aitken
4 = Not sure but not Lafai
5 = Ravalawa (looks more dangerous that Pierara)
6 = Field (get involved more)
7 = Hunt
8 = Graham
9 = Mcinnes
10 = Vaughan
11 = Sims
12 = Frizell
13 = Lawrie
14 = Robson
15 = K Sims
16 = Leilua (needs more minutes)
17 = Kerr
Cheers
In the off season I was staying in North Wollongong and McGregor fronted up at a coffee shop near the Novotel two days in a row and I just observed him – this was at 6.30 am and it looked like he and his confederates had been playing a game of touch beforehand. My perception of him was of aloofness and a far away stare. Scroll forward and there is not much to show for whatever was the obscure object of his thoughts then. Perhaps he was contemplating a blueberry muffin.
