First, we sit down with Dragons forward Blake Lawrie and rising young talent Kade Reed. The pair discuss the fierce competition for spots within the forward pack, Kade's journey to his NRL debut, and the growth and improvement within the first grade squad.

Then, ahead of the NRLW season opener, we catch up with Taliah Fuimaono, Brooke Anderson and Arabella McKenzie. The trio share insights into the culture and chemistry within the squad, how the team has embraced a host of new additions, and the excitement building as they prepare to kick off their 2026 campaign.
