South Sydney Rabbitohs v St George Illawarra Dragons News
The Rabbitohs welcome the Dragons for what is always one of the highlights of the season for both fanbases and it has also become one of those matches neutral fans love to watch.
There are many reasons for that including the proximity of both clubs and the long history that they have going back to the pre-joint venture days of the Dragons when Souths had a rivalry with both the Dragons and Steelers.
What really sparked things however was when the Dragons wrote an affidavit stating that it would be detrimental for the Rabbitohs to return to the topflight competition and ever since this is a match to look out for on the calendar for both sides and one for both sets of fans to keep up with all of the news for it.
That is just what fans of both teams, and neutrals alike, can do right here on this page.
