“We’re extremely excited about the program we’ve been able to put together,” Sawyer said.
“With the quality of talent on display and with so much on the line in each game, we expect tickets to sell fast and the full-house sign to go up.
“This would generate a superb atmosphere, as Dolphin Stadium is a purpose-built rugby league venue that is perfectly suited to hosting an event like this.”
