St. George Illawarra Dragons vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Odds

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

On the surface, St George Illawarra’s 6-7 record and 10th-place standing doesn’t look all that bad, after all, they’re only a win outside the eight and theoretically very much in finals contention.

But a gutsy Anzac Day victory over the Roosters aside, the Saints have unmistakably made their bones by picking off low-hanging fruit.

After unimpressive wins over the Warriors and Bulldogs, the Dragons were trounced 31-12 by an Origin-weary Cowboys side last Friday.

Their 24 points per game conceded is woeful given the relatively soft nature of their draw.

South Sydney improved to 7-6 and seventh on the ladder with just their second back-to-back wins of 2022 last weekend, but like the Dragons, the Rabbitohs’ only win over a Top 8 team was against the Roosters early on.

Souths were too strong for the Tigers (44-18) and Titans (30-16) either side of the bye with Alex Johnston bagging a hat-trick in both.

The Rabbitohs’ 24-12 win in Round 5 – with – was their eighth straight against the Dragons in a match that saw Latrell Mitchell succumb to a costly injury, however Damien Cook and Keaon Kolomatangi played starring roles.

Mikaele Ravalawa and Mat Feagai return on the wings for St George Illawarra, while NSW forward Tariq Sims returns with Josh McGuire out injured.

Souths’ only change sees Blake Taafe come onto the bench for Peter Mamouzelos.

The Rabbitohs haven’t been overly impressive but there were some disturbing signs for the Saints last week.

Souths rank fifth in the NRL for run metres whereas the Dragons are 13th; that likely platform should be enough for the visitors to get up comfortably.
