South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Accor Stadium will host a clash between old rivals on Thursday night as South Sydney looks for a third straight win and St George Illawarra aims to salvage pride after their finals hopes ended. The Rabbitohs have turned a corner defensively, edging Gold Coast and Parramatta in tight contests after a nine-game losing streak. Keaon Koloamatagi’s return is timely, though Latrell Mitchell remains sidelined. The Dragons had momentum from upset wins over Canberra and Cronulla, but the loss of three forwards to concussion swung last week’s clash in Auckland into a 14-10 defeat. Tyrell Sloan and Blake Lawrie come in to cover. Souths prevailed 25-24 in Round 2 courtesy of a Jamie Humphreys field goal, and history favours them at Accor, where they’ve won the last seven against the Saints. But with Souths’ season already gone, the Dragons’ steadier spine and overall form may prove decisive.
