Scoreline: Dragons 12-10 Broncos
The Dragons still have plenty to work on in attack but their defence has to be commended once again as they beat Brisbane by two points here. The Broncos had plenty of chances in the second half, particularly late on but the Dragons held firm. This is a side full of belief and they take another big step in the right direction. The Broncos were gallant in defeat but Milford and Hunt didn’t have the best of games.
Two of the NRL’s in-form sides go head-to-head as the St George Illawarra Dragons host ladder leaders the Brisbane Broncos. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:35pm (AEST).
After a poor performance in Round 1 against South Sydney, the Broncos are now on a five-match winning streak and are well on their way to fulfilling their pre-season promise as premiership threats.
St George Illawarra meanwhile have produced an outstanding turnaround after a very poor opening fortnight of the season. Their Round 2 performance against the Tigers in particular raised enormous concerns about their ability to play first-grade football, let alone win matches.
The turning point however came against the Raiders. The Dragons trailed 18-nil at one stage but stormed home to secure a season-defining victory in Round 3.
Since then, the Dragons are playing with a resolve and attitude not seen since the glory days of 2010 when they last won the premiership.
Their defence ranks as the best in the competition and it was on display last week against the Bulldogs. With Canterbury attacking the line early on, Sam Perrett received a great offload and looked destined to score when he dived for the line, but the Dragons somehow managed to hold him up.
That try-saver speaks volumes about the Dragons’ defence this season. Paul McGregor’s players are in the right frame of mind and they will be braced for battle against Brisbane in front of what should be a full house at Oki Jubilee.
Although Brisbane have won their last eight matches against the Dragons, St George Illawarra are a great chance of winning tonight if they continue to defend like they have so far this season.
