The Late Mail: Dragons v Broncos

St George Illawarra Dragons v Brisbane Broncos

The season opener is here!

Dragons make one change to the 17 with Hame Sele dropping out, replaced by Jeremy Latimore on the interchange, while the Broncos have enacted the change most predicted - hooker Andrew McCullough is benched with Sam Thaiday to start at dummy half and Tevita Pangai Jr coming into the front row.
