The clash is not only a pre-season match, but also an important calendar marked event for the Dragons.
“It’s getting prepared for that round one game, getting the team ready for the selections from the coaching staff. It’s definitely a big game for the squad and coaching staff,” Dragons centre Timoteo Lafai said.
It’s that game just before the season starts so it’s important game for us and the Rabbitohs.

But, it’s not all just about rugby league with Paul McGregor’s side, it’s also about getting local kids involved in the sport.
“It’s good to come back here to spend some time with the community and do some school visits,” Luciano Leilua said.
To get the kids involved is awesome because they’re the future.

“It’s good for the kids, to give them something to look forward to.”
“To get the kids involved is awesome because they’re the future. It helps the game grow and give back to the people of Mudgee,” Lafai said.
Kick off will be 7.30pm at Glen Willow, March 2.
