St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Dragons’ finals hopes hang by a thread as they host a confident Eels outfit in Wollongong. Conceding 86 points over their past two losses, St George Illawarra are under serious pressure to tighten up defensively and stabilise their playmaking combinations.
Parramatta, on the other hand, are building momentum under interim coach Jason Ryles. Last week’s strong win over the Titans showcased the talents of Dean Hawkins and Isaiah Iongi, while Dylan Brown’s return injects further energy into the side. Despite the absence of key players like Will Penisini, the Eels’ spine is beginning to click.
Having won their last four clashes against the Dragons — including a golden-point epic earlier this season — the Eels will be confident of securing another important away win.
