Preview:
Souths got one over their old rivals the Roosters in round one and face another familiar foe in the Dragons to kick off round two action. Despite taking an early lead, the Dragons were second best against the Cowboys losing 24-12 in Townsville last Saturday. Souths used a dominant second half to overturn a 12-10 half time deficit and win 26-16. Tyson Frizell misses for the Dragons after suffering a ruptured testicle last weekend, while the Bunnies will go in unchanged. These two sides played out a classic semi-final last season, with Adam Reynolds slotting two field goals in the final three minutes to clinch a 13-12 win for the Bunnies. The Saints won’t want to fall to 0-2 to start the season and will benefit from being back at Kogarah, where they are 2-1 against Souths this decade, in a rare meeting between the two sides at the venue. The Wolf reckons that a big red and white home crowd and a let down factor for Souths after beating the competition favourites points to an upset Dragons victory to start the round.
