New Zealand Warriors vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
The Warriors can lock down a spot in the Top 4 once and for all with another win over the lowly Dragons on Friday evening.
As expected, they didn’t have things all their own way against the Sea Eagles in Round 25, but the Warriors rallied to ultimately do enough to win. They have been terrific across the paddock this season, with highlights including Dally M candidate Shaun Johnson, and star winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who scored another hat-trick last week!
The Dragons, meanwhile, have been awful, and this will be their penultimate appearance in season 2023.
Another one that betting suggests will be one-sided, and for good reason.
