A big comeback from Wests Tigers fell short as the St George Illawarra Dragons booked their place in finals with a 2-point golden time victory.
>>MATCH REPORT: Dragons secure finals spot in golden time
St George 32 def. Wests 30
The St George Illawarra Dragons face off against the Wests Tigers in the final round of the 2015 NRL season. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:30pm (AEST).
The Tigers’ chance at playing finals might have evaporated weeks ago, but they still have a chance to manipulate the top eight with a win against the Dragons today.
Currently the Dragons sit in eighth place, a game clear of the Sea Eagles and also 61-points clear in the for-and-against.
This means that if the Dragons suffer a big enough loss, and the Sea Eagles can summon a big enough win against the Sharks on Sunday, the Dragons could have their place in the finals ripped from their grasp.
What would have Dragons fans nervous are last week’s results for both sides.
The Wests Tigers looked inspired against the Warriors, bouncing back from a tough week of media scrutiny to secure a 34-point win against the Warriors.
The Dragons on the other hand suffered a tough loss to the lowly Titans, 28-26 on the Gold Coast.
In team news, Jake Marketo and Eto Nabuli come in for Joel Thompson and Dylan Farrell for the Dragons. Craig Garvey moves to 18th man and George Rose moves on to the bench.
For the Tigers, Kyle Lovett has been added to the bench. The rest of the side is unchanged from their Warrior-defeating side from last week.
Can the Tigers cause a big upset and leave Dragons fans holding their breath for Sunday’s results?
Or will the Dragons suck up the pressure and hit the finals with a win under their belt?
