St George Illawarra stunned Canberra in Round 22 before backing this up with a victory over Cronulla to lift the spirits around the club.
However, since their win over the Sharks, the Dragons have slipped to a narrow defeat against New Zealand, copped a hiding against South Sydney and were also well beaten by Manly last week.
The Red V will look to snap their losing run and end the season on a positive note when they take on Penrith.

Dragons latest team news:
Shane Flanagan will be looking to finish the season on a positive note as they take on the reigning premiers in their last game of the year.
The coach has named an unchanged side despite falling to a 40-24 loss to the Sea Eagles last week.
Moses Suli was originally tipped to return in Round 27, but the centre has been put on ice.
He is joined in the casualty ward by long-term absentees: Valentine Holmes, Dylan Egan, Toby Couchman and Ryan Couchman.
