THE PREDICTION
It would take a remarkable set of results to see St. George Illawarra reach the top eight places now and their task is not helped by having to play the Sydney Roosters here. The Roosters are playing some of their best rugby of the season so far having won five of their last six matches as they look to keep building momentum ahead of the finals. With the Dragons having lost their last five games, it is hard to see anything other than a comfortable victory for the Roosters by a double-digit margin.
