Parramatta Eels vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Parramatta head into Round 3 looking to stabilise their season after a challenging start across the opening rounds. The Eels have shown glimpses of attacking quality but have struggled defensively at times. The Dragons, meanwhile, have been competitive and continue to show effort under Shane Flanagan, particularly through their forward pack. St George Illawarra’s ability to stay in the contest through physical defence could make life difficult for Parramatta if the Eels fail to control possession. Parramatta’s attacking talent still gives them a high ceiling when their halves combination clicks. Betting-wise this shapes as a tighter contest than many expect, with the Dragons potentially value with a start.
