Dragons 2019 Canterbury Cup draw released

The St George Illawarra Dragons' Canterbury Cup draw has been released for the upcoming 2019 season.

The Dragons finished one game out from last year's grand final in 2018, losing out to eventual competition premiers and NRL State Championship winners in the Bulldogs.

"We have been trying to get the boys as fit as we can and as strong as we can. We have progressed four or five Jersey Flegg Under-20s players from last year and have had a turnover of new faces otherwise," Dragons Canterbury Cup coach Mat Head said of his new look squad.

"They're all still young guys with a dream of making it in the NRL so they're all working hard towards that."

For Dragons members, partners and fans unable to make CC fixtures, a quarter of the CC Dragons' games will be on television, with two fixtures scheduled to be broadcasted live on Channel Nine and a further four to be shown on Fox League.

The CC Dragons will also play their part in the Round 10 Magic Round by taking a home game against the Newcastle Knights to Newtown's Henson Park as part of a scheduled triple header.
