Wests Tigers vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction
Not many expected St. George Illawarra Dragons to stun Cronulla Sharks but that’s what they did, digging in and producing one of their best performances of the year to win 22-28 away to the high-flying Sharks. With confidence high, we now see whether this was a flash in the pan or whether the Dragons will start a fire with the spark they’ve produced.
West Tigers have now lost their last seven and can’t seem to get anything going. Whilst their defence improved against Parramatta Eels, the offense went to sleep, underlining their frustration. With the visitors on a high and Wests Tigers in a deep slump, this a good chance for the Dragons and they are worth backing.
