When: 14:00 | Sunday 13/05/2018

Where: ANZ Stadium, Sydney

Preview:

With a 1 v 5 matchup, this is shaping up to be the match of the round between these two rivals.
Both teams are in really good form and I’m expecting a high-quality match.
There are some great matchups across the park with GI v Euan Aitken, Gareth Widdop v Cody Walker and how about this one, the two possible NSW hookers in Damian Cook and Cameron McInnes.

KEY BATTLE: Damian Cook v Cameron McInnes

Last week, both players were outstanding for their respective sides.
The Dragons have had the luxury of fielding the same starting line-up for 10 games now which is quite remarkable.
There’s no doubt after last week’s game that the Dragons are premiership favourites.
I do however, see an upset happening in this one.
The Verdict
Souths have been excellent in all areas of the game and the stats back that up.
With a little more motivation and wanting to knock off the top dogs, the Bunnies will get it done in a close one.

NRL News:

St George Illawarra’s Jeremy Latimore has denied he intentionally punched Melbourne skipper Cameron Smith in the groin.

It was more than just Smith’s ego that was bruised following the Dragons’ 34-14 win over the Storm on Sunday after copping what appeared to be a shot to his crotch.

Just after halftime, the Queensland and Australian captain collapsed onto the Jubilee Oval turf clutching himself after it appeared he was struck by Latimore.

To have salt rubbed into a very painful wound, opposite No.9 Cameron McInnes scooted over the line where Smith would have been defending.

Smith implied Latimore had intentionally struck him and the alleged act of foul play cost his side a try.

However the Dragons prop defended himself and his reputation.

“I think I was fighting in the play-the-ball,” Latimore said

“I knew something happened when he was on the deck.

“You’re trying to play the ball as quick as you can, I saw Cam on the ground and I did try to apologise at the scrum but he was in a fair bit of pain.”

While Smith was clearly fuming at the incident, Latimore said there was no malice in it.

“You can look at my history, it’s not in my nature,” Latimore said.

“At the time I was trying to get a quick play-the-ball and Cam tries to slow the play-the-ball down a fair bit.

“I was just trying to get a quick play-the-ball for Cameron McInnes. There was a man down so he jumped over.”

Latimore dismissed the incident as nothing more than an accident, the likes of which happen on a rugby league field dozens of times in a game.

However Smith said there was no way for him to be hit in that area accidentally.

“Well I thought I was in a position in the tackle where I can’t really get caught up in any stray elbows and knee,” Smith said.

“Put it that way.”
