St George Illawarra Dragons vs Nth Queensland Cowboys Preview
The Dragons still stand a mathematical chance at making the finals, but their current six-game losing streak means it would take nothing short of a miracle.
St George has lost five of those six games by double digits, but they might have one last shot at winning a game on Saturday when they take on the struggling Cowboys in Rockhampton.
Not to be outdone, North Queensland extended its losing streak to 10 last week with a 32-16 loss to the Eels, but there could be some reprieve on the horizon with Jason Taumalolo and Kyle Feldt both a chance at returning this week.
The Dragons, meanwhile, were dealt another blow with Mikaele Ravalawa failing his HIA last week, leaving the Saints looking a little vulnerable as the short-priced favourites.
In terms of recent history, these two sides have played out some thrillers over the last few years with overtime required last season before the Dragons won 25-18 back in Round 2.
Since both teams had serious top-eight aspirations earlier in the year, it wouldn’t be surprising if we’re treated to another tight contest.
