The St George Illawarra Dragons will host the Brisbane Broncos in their first Wollongong home game at WIN Stadium on Friday.
Head Coach Steve Price has named a 19-man line-up for the blockbuster match which includes the same players who defeated the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the local derby last weekend.
“The squad is excited to be playing in Wollongong, it is our home training base and we know that there will be plenty of passionate Red V Members and fans,” said Price.
“It is a shorter turn-around for us this week but the players have responded well to training this week and we have one more session to go between now and kick-off.
“Our focus this week has been on ourselves and the things that we can control. Our matches against the Broncos are always competitive and we expect nothing less this time around”.
The Dragons are offering one lucky Red V Member the opportunity to sky dive into the venue before kick-off alongside Channel 9 personality Brett Finch if they reach 17,000 Red V Members by Friday.
The Club’s Membership tally currently sits at 16,606 and need just under 400 Red V Members for the exciting sky dive opportunity courtesy of Sky Dive the Beach.
