Former Roosters player Willie Mason has likened playing in the ANZAC Day match against St George Illawarra to that of a mixture between State of Origin and Test Match football.
Since 2002 the Dragons have won 8 of 11 fixtures but regardless of what the record books may show, the Newcastle forward said it will have an intensity hard to be rivalled in any other regular round clash.

"It's really an emotional day," Mason said on NRL360.
"The jets come flying over, it's only a club game but it's more than a club game.
"It's semi playing like a Test (match), that whole ANZAC feeling.
"…the first 10 minutes is semi like an Origin, it's pretty crazy."
Last year Braith Anasta captained the Roosters side against the Dragons in the highly anticipated fixture.
Now with the Wests Tigers, the former international had difficulty explaining the importance of Thursday's fixture.
"It's one of those games you look forward to all year," Anasta said.
"But it's hard to sort of explain how important it is to you.
"The people that have served our country past and present you're thinking about them and want to represent them as best you can but you're also thinking about your own family and friends.
"It's quite an emotional day."
