Brisbane Broncos vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction

Brisbane Broncos are right in the middle of the pack right now when it comes to their NRL record this campaign. So far after 11 games, they have won five and lost six, so this serves as the ideal chance to secure an even record. But on the back of three straight NRL defeats, their performance levels must improve.

St. George Illawarra Dragons are still the only team in the league without a single win, losing 11 from 11 to leave themselves cut adrift from the pack right now. Nothing is working out for them right now and even against a struggling opponent, it’s difficult to see them turning it around, especially on the road. Therefore, back the Broncos to arrest their slump.
