St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Dragons’ finals hopes are on a knife’s edge as they welcome a buoyant Eels side to Wollongong. After leaking 86 points across consecutive defeats, St George Illawarra are under immense pressure to tighten their defence and find consistency in the halves.
Parramatta, meanwhile, continue to show promise under interim coach Jason Ryles. They put the Titans away last week with Dean Hawkins and Isaiah Iongi shining, and Dylan Brown’s return adds even more spark. While key players like Will Penisini are out, the Eels’ playmakers are growing in confidence.
With four straight wins over the Dragons, including this year’s golden-point thriller, Parramatta will back themselves to notch another valuable road victory.
