Latrell Mitchell is making his triumphant return for the Bunnies after a lengthy absence, ready to lace up his boots once more for the Charity Shield showdown against the Dragons.
The Dragons, on the other hand, have a few former Souths stars of their own looking to make their mark on the game.
After sitting out the All Stars clash due to suspension, Mitchell is raring to go and eager to put his recent injury setbacks behind him.
Meanwhile, Lewis Dodd, the English halfback who stepped up in Mitchell's absence, will face off against his predecessor, Lachlan Ilias, who will be wearing the Red V jersey for the second time in as many weeks.
Ilias will no doubt be eager to prove himself against his former team, especially as he builds upon his partnership with the impressive Kyle Flanagan.
Speaking of star fullbacks, Reece Walsh is set to make his first appearance of the pre-season for the Broncos, adding another dynamic player to the mix.
And let's not forget the showdown between James Tedesco and Kalyn Ponga in Gosford, a clash that is sure to have fans on the edge of their seats.
With all these top-tier players taking the field, it's shaping up to be a thrilling weekend of Rugby League action.
