South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction
We’ll likely learn a lot about the resilience of this South Sydney Rabbitohs squad over the course of this match with how they respond from losing such a tight game last time out against Canberra Raiders. To score over 30 points in each of their last two NRL fixtures but only win one underlines where their struggles are currently as a unit.
St. George Illawarra Dragons are in a real slump right now and their backline cannot seem to keep their opponents at bay. Nilled by North Queensland Cowboys, they’ve seen suffered another home defeat against Manly Sea Eagles and this Rabbitohs offense should be able to feast across 80 minutes here. Any outcome other than a home victory would be a surprise.
