St George Dragons vs. West Tigers
St. George and West Tigers take this game, as they do every year, to the SCG.
Given the respective form and placings (14th and 15th) on the ladder of the two sides, the match will not live up to the venue though.
Whilst St. George have lost their last four games straight, three of them have been by margins of four points or less, including last week’s spirited effort against Cronulla.
They’ve only been that one vital play away from winning the above games and they’ll be too strong for a woeful Tigers side.
It keeps getting worse each week for the Tigers who on Monday night, slumped to their sixth consecutive loss when thumped by Sydney Roosters 56 – 14.
They only have four days to turn that performance around and that will not be enough time to address the current state of the club.
Historically, there have been some very tight clashes between these two clubs but the West Tigers head into this clash in very poor form and those results are best ignored.
