Gold Coast Titans vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction
This is a battle that could determine the season for these two clubs when considering the awful start that both have made to the campaign. Gold Coast Titans and St. George Illawarra Dragons have lost three from three, whilst the Titans in particular are struggling mightily with a vastly inferior point-difference compared to their opponents. However, being the home side gives them a possible edge.
The outcome of this one really does have the potential to go either way. It feels like much depends of the backline of Gold Coast Titans. If they can finally navigate a level of control, avoid any errors and settle into the game early on without conceding sloppily, then the Titans attack is strong enough to find points at the other end of the field. Don’t expect a large margin of victory on either side, but consider backing the hosts to narrowly edge it.
