ST George Illawarra Dragons are getting ready for a busy schedule before the NRL kick-off in March.
The Dragons head to New Zealand for the Auckland Nines (January 31-February 1).
Then the Paul McGregor-coached team tackle premiers Souths in the annual Charity Shield game on Saturday, February 7, at ANZ Stadium.
The Dragons will then go to England for the World Club series against Souths and Brisbane.
They tackle Warrington Wolves on Saturday, February 20, at Halliwell Jones Stadium.
British Super League clubs, Warrington, St Helens and Wigan Warriors are playing in the series.
The Dragons' opening game of the NRL season is a big night clash against Melbourne Storm on Monday, March 9, at Kogarah Oval at 7pm.
While there has been a big player turnover in the off-season, McGregor is confident the Dragons can be competitive in 2015.
He took over from sacked coach Steve Price in May last year.
McGregor, a former St George Illawarra centre, was then appointed as Dragons head coach for the 2015-16-17 seasons on August 22, 2014.
