The St George Illawarra Dragons have named a 23-man squad for their trial against the Wests Tigers at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on February 11.
The i98FM Challenge will see the Dragons clash with the Tigers in their second-to-last trial before the NRL season kicks off against the Panthers on Saturday, March 4.
The Wollongong faithful will get to see the likes of Jai Field, Jack de Belin and Euan Aitken play against the Tigers.
The Illawarra Hawks will play the Brisbane Bullets earlier on Saturday next door at WIN Entertainment Centre.
With a Wollongong sporting double-header on the cards, the I98FM Street Fleet will be in the grassed area on Harbour Street between 4-7pm with giveaways and prizes.
"Against the Tigers, we're going to have a young squad and a squad that all the coaching and performance staffs are looking forward to see play," Dragons assistant coach Dean Young said.
"I'm sure the fans will be excited to see the likes of Jai Field run around. They would've seen what he can produce over at the Nines so we're excited to see how he goes in the 13 v 13 real stuff.
"I think the trial is a reward for the Wollongong fans. They're a real passionate group and they always support the team," Young added.
"To have a trial down in Wollongong is great for the players and great for the fans and hopefully they all turn up. I'm just looking forward to seeing how our young guys go against men."
