Two of the NRL’s most intriguing sides kick their season off against each other this afternoon when the Dragons host the Bulldogs at Nestrata Jubilee Stadium.
Off the back of an off-season recruitment drive that has brought Clint Gutheron, Valentine Holmes, and Damien Cook to Wollongong, many are expecting big things from Shane Flanagan’s Dragons side this season.
Their opponents were the surprise package of the 2024 season. This year, all eyes fixed on Cameron Ciraldo’s side will be waiting to see if last year’s form was a fluke or a sign of a new era at Belmore.
