Easter Sunday will not only have chocolate Easter eggs on offer, both teams will be fighting for the Alex McKinnon Cup, played annually when the Knights play the Dragons for the first time.

McKinnon, debuted as a 19-year-old for St George Illawarra in Round 14, 2011, scoring two tries against the Gold Coast Titans, having signed with the Dragons whilst boarding at the famous St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown.
