After a limp effort in the 17-10 loss to the Cowboys in Auckland, they've lost one of their best attacking weapons for Anzac Day's game against the Storm.
Wing David Fusitua was helped from the field with a rib injury and coach Stephen Kearney can't see him being fit.
He says given it's a five day turnaround until their next match, he would anticipate him being unavailable.
The Dragons have edged Manly 12-10.
