The Penrith Panthers host the St George Illawarra Dragons at Sportingbet Stadium on Saturday afternoon, kicking off at 5:30pm (AEST).
The Dragons broke their losing streak last week with a big win against the Sharks. They’ll be hoping to build some much needed momentum, but it won’t come easy against the table-topping Panthers.
Penrith snuck into top spot last week and will look to maintain that position and extend their winning streak to five matches.
If the Dragons are to win this match, they will need to overcome the loss of Josh Dugan and Trent Merrin, who have both been called upon for State of Origin duties.
The Panthers on the other hand have come through Origin selection unscathed once again.
Benji Marshall appears to be finding his feet at the Dragons, but his ability to maintain this improvement will be tested this week with the loss of quality support.
The last time these sides met was in Round 16 of last season, a match that saw the Panthers run out 26 to 10 victors.
If recent form is anything to go by, we could be in for a similar result.
The match will also be the first time that Jamie Soward faces up against his old club.
