The St George Illawarra Dragons' Intrust Super Premiership draw has been released for the upcoming 2018 season.
This season will be the first time in a decade that this team will compete in this competition as St George Illawarra, as per the recently announced re-developed pathways structure.
"I'm really excited to have the reserve grade team known as the St George Illawarra Dragons. I think it's a big thing for the club," ISP coach Mat Head said.
"I think the jumper you wear on your back will play a little part in the squad's motivation, no matter who you're selected for because we'll all be wearing that same jumper.
"It is early days but we want to go as far as we can in 2018," Head added.
"We deserved what we achieved last year by making the second week of the finals and to have a similar squad go around again for another 12 months, I'd like to think we'll go a lot further into the finals."
For those Dragons members, partners and fans unable to make ISP fixtures, over half of the ISP Dragons' games on television, with seven fixtures scheduled to be broadcasted live on Channel Nine and a further five to be shown on Fox League.
The ISP Dragons will also play their part in the Round 11 Magic Round, with triple-headers scheduled for Henson Park and North Sydney Oval. The Dragons will take their home game against the New Zealand Warriors to Henson Park as a result.
There are only two games scheduled to be played at Kogarah's Jubilee Oval presently, due to the venue unavailability as advised by Georges River Council. However the Council have suggested that this may change as the season progresses and all parties will advise accordingly.
