The Cronulla Sharks are up again to host what is a huge rivalry from the south against the St George Illawarra Dragons. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 8:05pm AEDT.
Forget the Rabbitohs, Dragons-Sharks is the biggest rivalry in the south, and is about to happen once again tonight at Shark Park.
The Sharks made one of the biggest trips in the league last week, to play the Cowboys, and while they didn’t come away with a win, they will take the confidence that comes with an 80-minute performance.
The Dragons on the other hand, started their season at home, breaking the Broncos, 34-12.
Most pundits would be convinced with the performance last week from St George Illawarra, as they left little out on the field.
The recent history shows even contests, with the last four encounters going two apiece.
St George Illawarra will like not having the extra travel time, as they head up the road, as Cronulla will be glad of playing at home.
Shark Park may not be the fortress we think it is though, as the Sharks won only six of their 12 games there last year.
The Dragons show a bit of reluctance to win away from home, with only five Ws from the 12 away games each team plays each year.
Watch out for Valentine Holmes tonight.
Last Thursday he struggled somewhat against the Cowboys, so he clearly has a point to prove.
Prediction
After an impressive win against the Broncos last week, the Dragons should win at Shark Park.
Dragons by 10.
