While the Dragons will enjoy being back on home turf in Wollongong, the One New Zealand Warriors head into tonight's WIN Stadium encounter aiming to build on their start to the season.
Shane Flanagan's men toppled the Titans at WIN Stadium in round six but are coming off back-to-back losses will enter this weekend's game on the back of two-straight losses to the Roosters and Wests Tigers.
The Dragons have won four of their past six against the One New Zealand Warriors and will need veterans Clint Gutherson and Damien Cook to lead from the front as they look to steady the ship in this Women in League Round match.
The Warriors on the other hand have edged to third on the ladder behind a physical forward pack and halfback Luke Metcalf's stunning form.
The playmaker has orchestrated the team's entertaining game plan and will look to pick apart the St George Illawarra defence.
While the Warriors have historically struggled at WIN Stadium including a disappointing 12-30 loss there last year, they won the previous two games 18-12 in 2018 and 48-18 in 2023 when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak - making his comeback from injury tonight - scored four tries.
