Wests Tigers vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview

The Tigers and Dragons meet without finals implications, but St George Illawarra brings welcome belief after stunning Cronulla 24-16 for only its third win of the season. Wests has lost seven straight and entered its bye following a 16-13 defeat to Parramatta, with its attack held to 13 points or fewer in six consecutive games. Debutant Solomone Saukuru replaces Heamasi Makasini in the Tigers’ centres after strong NSW Cup form. The Dragons regain Toby Couchman from concussion, while Setu Tu is named to start and Damien Cook remains at hooker. St George Illawarra has won six of the past eight meetings, including a 24-10 result in Round 18. With both sides struggling for points, territory, discipline and patience are likely to decide a contest in which the Dragons’ recent defensive resolve provides the stronger foundation.
