Two rugby league heartlands play host to vital Indigenous Round clashes on Saturday as we head towards the business end of the season.

The Dragons welcome the Sharks to Jubilee Stadium before the Knights and Wests Tigers do battle at McDonald Jones Stadium, which last weekend hosted the inaugural NRLW Magic Round.

The Saturday triple finishes with NRLW newcomers the Bulldogs squaring off against the Warriors, who returned to the competition in 2025 after a four-year absence and have already chalked up two wins.

The Bulldogs also have two victories to their name as well as a historic draw against the Titans at Magic Round – the first draw in the history of the NRLW.
