The St George Illawarra Dragons' season is on the line this weekend during Members Appreciation Round against the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium.
Despite remaining outside of the top eight on the NRL Telstra Premiership ladder, a finals berth will be sealed if the Dragons beat the Bulldogs.
On a day where the Red V will thank their loyal members, there are plenty of other great initiatives for those thinking of coming to the game:
· A capped ticket price of $25 for adults and $40 for families, with free entry for kids 12-and-under. Click here for tickets.
· Free return train travel to Olympic Park with direct services. Click here for transport information.
· All Dragons and Bulldogs members are entitled to free entry as part of their 2017 club memberships
· $3 pies and sausage rolls at ANZ Stadium until kick-off
· No reserved seating on the eastern side of ANZ Stadium, with the stadium cut in half for Dragons fans on one side and Bulldogs on the other. Be sure to arrive early to get the best seating close to halfway
The precinct will also be buzzing with loads of family fun activities:
