Canterbury Bulldogs vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Canterbury moves into its second week of the post-Barrett era, having put up a decent fight in a 36-22 loss to Wests Tigers with interim Mick Potter taking the reins. The Bulldogs fought back from 18-0 down at halftime to trail by just two before fading late.
St George Illawarra arrested a two-game slide and improved to 5-6 with a sloppy 24-20 win over the Warriors in Kogarah wet last Saturday. The positives outweighed the negatives in a patchy effort – particularly in the shape of Cody Ramsey’s sizzling display at fullback and a two-try showing from strike centre Zac Lomax.
Josh Addo-Carr is a big inclusion for the Bulldogs, replacing the maligned Jayden Okunbor on the flank. Corey Waddell returns for Joe Stimson. The Dragons have named veteran Andrew McCullough (thumb) to return in a boost to their stability around the ruck.
The Dragons have won four of their last six against the Bulldogs but the rivals split their two 2021 clashes. The Saints powered to a 32-12 win in Round 9 at Jubilee Oval, but the Dogs turned the tables at Homebush five weeks later with a rousing 28-6 victory.
This is a huge opportunity for the Dragons to potentially leapfrog a few teams into the Top 8. Lose to the bottom-placed team who are scoring just 10.7 points per game and you can just about draw a line through the Red V as a finals hope.
