Souths Rabbitohs vs St George Dragons



Having already suffered a 36 nil defeat to the Roosters just a fortnight ago, the Dragons now face the ominous task of playing premiership favourites South Sydney away from home.
The Rabbitohs have only lost two matches all season and are coming off a tough win over the in-form Warriors in Perth.
With South Sydney firing on all cylinders at the moment, tonight’s contest could end up being one of the more one sided affairs of the season given the massive gulf in class between the home side and the Dragons.

Dragons representative players Ben Creagh, Trent Merrin, Justin Nightingale, Brett Morris and Nathan Fien will all have to play like representative players if the away side are a hope of causing South Sydney trouble tonight.
Even then, victory looks remote at best. South Sydney possess firepower across the park and a fast start here will most likely see them pile on the points.
Given the rich history shared between these two teams, the Dragons should be expected to put in a solid effort and perhaps treat this match as their grand final.
A victory over the Rabbitohs would boost morale at the club to no end, even if the Dragons are no hope of making the finals.
With South Sydney however keen to maintain their four point gap on the second placed Roosters, the Rabbitohs should be expected to put the Dragons to the sword tonight.
While the absence of Greg Inglis tonight through injury will hurt their attack  somewhat, the class of Adam Reynolds, the Burgess brothers, John Sutton and Issac Luke really should be enough for the Rabbitohs to wreck havoc tonight en route to a comfortable victory.
