Wests Tigers vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview

The Wests Tigers and St. George Illawarra Dragons will face off at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night in a crucial Magic Round matchup, with both teams positioned just outside the top eight. The Tigers come into the game on the back of a thrilling golden-point victory over the Sharks, which has brought their record to 4-4. Meanwhile, the Dragons are looking to rebound after a heavy 46-18 loss to the Roosters on ANZAC Day. They’ll be eager for an immediate recovery, especially considering they’ve never won a Magic Round match, having lost four in a row at the event before their bye last season.

The Dragons have made several changes, including dropping Lachlan Ilias in favor of Lyhkan King-Togia, while Corey Allan returns from injury to take his place on the wing. Hamish Stewart is also back at lock, pushing Jack de Belin to the bench. On the other hand, the Tigers remain unchanged following their dramatic win last week.
