The St George Illawarra Dragons are gearing up to face off against the Newcastle Knights in their final NRL game of the 2023 season.
The match will take place on Saturday, September 2nd at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Kogarah.
As the Dragons prepare for this important game, former players will be in attendance to show their support and witness the team's efforts to end the year on a positive note.
When it comes to past encounters between the Dragons and the Knights, the Red V has had the upper hand.
Out of their last 18 meetings, the Dragons have emerged victorious in 14 of them.
Additionally, their recent history at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium has been particularly strong, with the Dragons winning the last five encounters against the Knights on this turf.
One player to keep an eye on during this game is Mikaele Ravalawa.
The talented winger is just one try away from joining the elite company of Nathan Blacklock and Brett Morris as the only players in St George Illawarra history to score 21 tries in a single season.
Ravalawa's impressive form throughout the year has been a crucial factor in the Dragons' success.
As the Dragons take to the field for their final NRL game of the season, they will be aiming to finish strong and show their resilience against a formidable Newcastle team.
With a strong track record against the Knights, as well as the potential for Ravalawa to make history, the Dragons have plenty to play for in this highly anticipated match.
So mark your calendars and get ready for an exciting clash between two competitive teams at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.
