We're underway - Lachlan Croker puts boot to ball and it's returned by St George Illawarra prop Jeremy Latimore.

Late changes are aplenty for the Saints - Hunt starts at half with Nicholls out, Vaughan and Frizell join the pack with Lawrie moving to lock and Host/Leilua benched.

Good evening! Round 17 wraps in Wollongong, with the Raiders having abseiled down the Illawarra escarpement to reach tonight's venue. Canberra will commemorate NAIDOC week by wearing their Indigenous jersey, while the Dragons are in the Red V.
