St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters prediction

Sydney Roosters get their opportunity to extend the misery of St. George Illawarra Dragons, who remain the only team remaining in NRL without a single point to their name. The hosts have now played seven games and lost them all, with their point difference now having exceeded -100. The Roosters meanwhile, have won their last three whilst scoring over 30 points in each of them.

Expect Sydney Roosters to dominate proceedings, with their offensive potency likely to overwhelm this struggling Dragons backline. Sydney boasts an excellent record on Anzac Day against the home side and any outcome other than victory for the Roosters would be a surprise.
