St. George Illawarra Dragons vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
South Sydney get a key opportunity to start putting another winning streak together against last-placed St George Illawarra, but the Rabbitohs will again be without Latrell Mitchell, on top of injured forwards Cameron Murray and Jai Arrow.
Souths halted a two-game slide with a 46-28 win on the Gold Coast, surging with five unanswered second-half tries.
Alex Johnston bagged a hat-trick, while NSW contender Campbell Graham returned with a try. Another Blues hopeful, Cody Walker, was also in great touch.
Jed Cartwright and Siliva Havili have been added to the bench for Murray and Arrow.
The Dragons have lost eight of their last nine but improved markedly on their flat 26-12 loss to the Dolphins in Round 13 with a tight 26-18 defeat to Penrith last Sunday.
It again emphasised Origin star Ben Hunt’s importance to the club – the Red V are a different team with him calling the shots.
Jack de Belin (head knock) is out this week, replaced at lock by Ben Murdoch-Masila with Zane Musgrove coming onto the bench, while Jack Bird and Blake Lawrie have been named in the reserves.
The Saints snapped an eight-match losing run against Souths with a stunning 32-12 win in Wollongong in Round 15 last year, with Jason Demetriou infamously hooking halfback Lachlan Ilias as the Dragons raced to a six-try (including a Mikaele Ravalawa double), 32-0 halftime lead.
It’s a banana-skin game again for the depleted Rabbitohs, while the Dragons have a 2-1 record at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in 2023.
The over may be the best play here, though with all three fixtures at the ground producing 46-plus points and Souths’ last three games all offering up 50 or more.
