00:00Hello Illawarra sports fans I'm Jordan Warren from the Illawarra Mercury

00:03sport team joined as always on a Friday by Agron Latifi. Agron the wet weather

00:07has been a bit rough this week hopefully we get some local games this week but

00:11we'll start with the Dragons of course they had a great win against the

00:14Dolphins last week. Zach Lomax should be back for the Roosters game on Sunday

00:17what do you what do you make of the game on Sunday? It's a big game it's a big

00:20game for both clubs but especially for the for the Dragons last time they played

00:23on Anzac Day it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't a good good day for the Dragons

00:27and obviously they've touched on that they'd like to not get revenge but they

00:31obviously like you know they'd like they'd like a win and it's an important

00:36for them to win coming up to after the Roosters they've got the Broncos and if

00:41they really you know they really need to keep in touch with that top 8 with a win.

00:45Yeah definitely an important period for the Dragons and then they've got the

00:48bye after that of course and then we've got the local footy like I said the rain

00:51hasn't been great this week but we're fingers crossed we've got Illawarra

00:54Rugby League and Group 7 I guess start with the Illawarra League mate and then

00:57move into Group 7 what are the highlights for this weekend? The

01:00highlight for Illawarra League on Saturday is Wes v Collies. Wes are coming off

01:05a loss but the win of tomorrow's game goes into second place so it's a big

01:11game. D-Los are the leaders and you know both teams want to keep pace with D-Los.

01:18Yeah of course. Sorry let's talk about Sunday's game with Group 7.

01:24Shell Harbour-Albion Park is probably the pick of the games as you covered the

01:28Albion Park game last week and they lost by one point for Adam Quinlan field

01:33goal right at the dying seconds so they'll be keen to bounce back but Shell

01:36Harbour you know they want 10 in a row so can anyone beat Shell Harbour that's the

01:41question. That's the massive question Albion Park will we going for a win

01:43after that one point loss to Nara Bombardieri last week of course. There's

01:47plenty of football action and a few of the Illawarra Premier League games will

01:50move to Ian McLennan Park of course the region's sole synthetic field so we've

01:53got Helensburg against Shell Harbour at 3 p.m. on Saturday and then we've got

01:58the late-night fixture the fixture was reversed we've got South Coast United

02:01against Coromel at the same venue at 7 o'clock on Saturday night so a couple of

02:05games that will definitely go ahead there's one at JJ Kelly Park a massive

02:08game not just one game a massive game between the first place Coniston and

02:11Wollongong Olympic if that game goes ahead that will be massive and of course

02:15we can't forget the Wolves they're there at home on Sunday at Wynn Stadium to

02:18Sydney Olympics so there's plenty of plenty of action this weekend mate and

02:21hopefully the weather gods are on our side but head to the Illawarra Mercury

02:24website for all the latest coverage over the weekend.
