KICKOFF! Grant Atkins' whistle sounds and we're underway for the last game of Round 2. Dragons will get first use of the footy tonight.
The final game of Round 2 of the NRL Telstra Premiership is set for kick-off at a sold-out Kayo Stadium. The Dolphins will be looking for redemption in the eyes of fans and their coach after a tough round 1 game. St George-Illawarra raised eyebrows with a solid performance under new leadership and positional reshuffles. The home side’s 18-man squad has dropped Sean O’Sullivan for Isaiya Katoa, Kurt Donoghoe joins the interchange, and Jake Averillo makes his Dolphins debut alongside Herbie Farnworth in the centres. For the Dragons, Luciano Leilua comes in on the bench, and Prop Blake Lawrie runs on in the front row with Raymond Faitala-Mariner pushed to interchange.
