00:00 Hey guys, it's Josh Bartlett here from the Illawarra Mercury Sport Team.
00:04 It's Friday, April 5 and here's just a couple of things you need to know that are happening
00:07 this weekend.
00:08 Weather pending of course.
00:10 In the NRL we have the Dragons heading north to take on the Knights up there in Newcastle.
00:14 That's on Friday night.
00:15 Should be an exciting contest and it's a chance for Shane Flanagan's men to build on last
00:20 week's gritty win over Manly.
00:23 Sticking with rugby league, we also have the Group 7 kicking off and that includes Warrilla
00:28 taking on the Shell Harbour Sharks at Cess Glenholmes Oval on Sunday.
00:33 Both sides are looking to impress this season.
00:36 In the world of football, the RPL could be under a bit of threat with this rain heading
00:40 around, but one game that is guaranteed to go ahead is South Coast United hosting Shell
00:45 Harbour on Saturday night at Ian Millicone Park.
00:48 And also in the NPL we have the Wolves back home.
00:52 They're taking on RPR at Wynn Stadium on Sunday.
00:55 It's a chance for David Carney's side to bounce back from a two game losing streak.
