The Dragons are gearing up to face off against the Wests Tigers in what promises to be a thrilling showdown at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday.

This match marks Round 8 of the 2024 Telstra Women's Premiership, and the Dragons are hungry for redemption after some recent setbacks.

Skipper Raecene McGregor is set to hit a major milestone as she notches up her 40th appearance in the NRLW.

Hailing from Greenacre Tigers, McGregor is no stranger to the spotlight, having clinched the coveted Dally M Medallist title in 2022.

After stints with the Broncos and Roosters, McGregor made a triumphant return to the Dragons last season, and she is more determined than ever to lead her team to victory.

With Tyla King back in action after recovering from a head knock and taking her place in the No.6 jersey, the Red V lineup is looking strong.

Kasey Reh will be stepping into the hooking role, Zali Hopkins will be providing versatility off the interchange, and Sophie Clancy is ready to step up as the side's replacement player.

As the Dragons prepare to take the field at Leichhardt, they know that all eyes will be on them.

With a history of success and a fierce determination to come out on top, they are ready to give it their all and show the Wests Tigers what they're made of.

It's sure to be a match-up for the ages, and the Dragons are fired up and ready to deliver a performance that will be talked about for years to come.
