The Gold Coast SUNS will begin their 2016 campaign with a trip up to Moreton Bay to face local rivals Brisbane in the opening weekend of the NAB Challenge series.
For the fifth consecutive pre-season, Rodney Eade’s side will play the Lions in the lead in to the home and away season.
Following a ten-day break between the first and second match of the SUNS’ NAB Challenge series, Gold Coast will travel across to Western Australia to play the West Coast Eagles in Joondalup, a suburb just north of Perth – the home of WAFL outfit West Perth.
