St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Melbourne Storm Preview
Melbourne arrive in Wollongong brimming with confidence after a dominant 52-4 win over Parramatta, continuing their remarkable Round 1 record under Craig Bellamy. Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes were instrumental as the Storm controlled the match from the outset.
St George Illawarra, meanwhile, produced a spirited effort in Las Vegas, pushing the Bulldogs to golden point before narrowly losing 15-14. Coach Shane Flanagan will take encouragement from the Dragons’ defensive resolve and improved energy.
Interestingly, this fixture has recently favoured the Dragons, who have upset Melbourne in each of the past two seasons. With the Storm missing a handful of forwards through injury and concussion, the home side will believe they can again challenge one of the NRL’s most consistent contenders.
