i98FM ILLAWARRA CONVOY ROUND

This weekend's double-header will be raising money for the i98FM Illawarra Convoy.

The Dragons, the NRL, Venues NSW, Squadron Energy, TripADeal, Remara, AGS Structural and HWLE Lawyers will each be donating a dollar for each person who attends Saturday's double-header.

The largest gathering of trucks and bikes in the Southern Hemisphere, the i98FM Illawarra Convoy is one of the most extensive regional fundraisers in the country.

Money raised from the event provides support to individuals and families affected by life-threatening medical conditions, local hospitals and contributions to charities who service patients impacted by severe illness.

We encourage all fans to show their support – every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.

MULHALL GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

Dragons front rower Madi Mulhall has pieced together a strong campaign and, with two weeks remaining in the regular season, is far from done.

The Camden Rams product has averaged 89 run metres this year having made 227 total tackles at near 93 per cent efficiency.

The 21-year-old has collected a trio of Player of the Match Awards over the past month and is rapidly growing into a leader of Nathan Cross' forward pack.

Mulhall: ‘We all knew there was something to prove’

FUN FOR THE FANS

Fans will have the opportunity to take to the field at full-time of our NRL clash.

All in attendance will be allowed on the field 20 minutes following the full-time siren for a 15-minute period.

Next to that, the Red V Membership Team has one 2025 Signed Jersey and four $20 Food and Beverage Vouchers for WIN Stadium up for grabs, but there is a catch…

2025 Red V Members will have to Find the Fire and finish this scavenger hunt to be a winner!

Make sure you keep an eye out! The tasks will be released on the morning of this weekend’s Game Day on the Dragons Instagram Story!

How do you win? Once you’ve ticked off all five tasks, uploaded, and tagged the Dragons and i98fm on Instagram, head to the i98FM Street Fleet activation on Harbour Street with your photos and videos to verify.
