St George Illawarra Dragons vs Canberra Raiders Preview
The Dragons will host the Raiders in the first of three Saturday games in Round 18.
What has happened to the Dragons throughout the last few weeks?
I hate to say it, but they’ve actually been noticeably worse since Mary McGregor was given his marching orders, and they are another club who are also now out of finals contention.
This week’s news that Anthony Griffin will take the head coaching job next season is enormous for the club, and the playing roster should be buoyed.
Clearly, the Dragons have been desperate for a ‘home grown talent’ to find success in the coaching ranks, but it just hasn’t worked, and it is terrific that they have finally seen the light.
The Raiders were unable to account for the Roosters in last weekend’s Grand Final rematch, but they’ve been playing some good footy of late, and they deserve their clear favouritism ahead of this one.
I don’t really know why, but I can’t completely rule out the Dragons, so I’m going to stay away from head to head and line betting this week.
