KICK-OFF! Dragons are lined up and Dugan puts boot to ball here we go!
Dragons are already waiting on the field with a healthy contingent of red vee fans in south-east Queensland. Next out is the Titans led by Ryan James. Both teams are wearing their home jerseys as we await kick-off.
Welcome to Robina! The site of the first of the Friday night double-header, as Gold Coast host the St George Illawarra. Both teams come off last-start wins where the Titans blew away a demoralised Tigers side while the Dragons had to come from behind to snap their two-game losing streak against last placed Knights. Tonight the Dragons look to continue their revival as the Titans look to home comforts to make it two in a row. Join us at 6:05pm AET for kick-off.
