Sydney Roosters vs St George Illawarra Dragons Preview
The traditional Anzac Day clash is back on the calendar and there is no shortage of storylines worth focusing on.
Aside from the fact both the Roosters and St George are looking to bounce-back from respective losses, this is also a critical game between fifth and sixth on the ladder.
The Roosters have done well to hang on the fringe of the top four despite a slew of recent injuries, but it was clear last week that the tri-colours were missing their usual knockout punch in the 20-4 loss to the Storm.
The Dragons, meanwhile, received a reality check as their four-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the Warriors.
Recent history tells us that the Roosters have enjoyed the better part of this matchup over the last three years, but their long list of outs does leave the Dragons looking great value at the current $2.35 quote.
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has joined Boyd Cordner and Luke Keary on the sidelines with a shoulder injury – a worrying sign for Trent Robinson after his side missed a boatload of tackles last week in the loss to Melbourne.
The jury might still be out on the Dragons, but with a 6-2 record as the away underdog at the line over the last 12 months – and a chance to snap their five-game losing streak against the Roosters – the Saints look a good bet.
