St George Illawarra Dragons vs Canberra Raiders Preview
We’ve got even money on offer between the Dragons and Raiders on Saturday night in a game both sides desperately need to have.
After a bit of a purple patch through March and April, the Dragons have cooled off significantly in recent weeks with only one win from their last five games.
Last week’s 28-6 loss to the Bulldogs was the lowlight of the season for head coach Anthony Griffin, and it’s fair to say the Red V won’t hold particularly fond memories of the Raiders with three straight losses dating back to 2019.
To make matters worse, the Green Machine is also coming off a much-needed win over the Broncos last week.
It’s hard to read too much into a blowout win over the reigning wooden spooners, but it was encouraging to watch the Raiders string together two consistent halves for the first time in a while.
The Dragons also have some injury concerns that could make this a tough ask with Zac Lomax questionable to play with a thumb injury.
Neither of these two sides have been particularly exciting to watch but considering the Raiders have been a better team on the road than they have been at home this year, the edge has to go to the rejuvenated Raiders.
