Round 24 - DRAGONS vs Tigers at Parra (Sun 4pm)

RufusRex said:

Going to be a positive build up to this one ... hope we can double down of a strong performance and go back to back.

Toby back in will make it interesting for selections ... Will Kerr make the game day 19?

Would love to see Atkinson and Nick in jumpers 18/19 with Guler/Webster/Halangahu and Cook rounding out the bench.

Is this going to be the first game this season the Dragons will probably be favourites to win?

Maybe just slightly GCRV. Now if we can win this game, who knows what other of the remaining games we will win.

Just looked it up TheRev.
The St. George Illawarra Dragons won two consecutive games in August 2025, defeating the Canberra Raiders 18-12 on August 2, 2025 (Round 22) and the Cronulla Sharks 22-14 on August 9, 2025 (Round 23), prior to a long subsequent winless stretch.

And the last tine we won 3 in a row was 2022.
5 in a row to maybe avoid the spoon, was last done start of 2018 when we were half decent team.

• I wonder if Toby is going to swap places with Gular although, I think over the last 2 games, Gular has been pretty good.
• Whatever LKT is doing differently, Holmes is really loving it.
• Happy to see No.16 and 17 where they are and No.20 and 21 where they are. Flanno would have had Blocka starting, Kerr on the bench and LPT and Halangahu in reserve grade.

  I agree - Guler is doing his job well enough - though i do expect Toby to start

  Playing straight and fast and not collapsing the depth of the attacking line or taking the centres space - basic stuff really

  Would prefer 20. Nick Tsougrannis .. but everything else you say is good.

Just had a look 4 games to go possible 8 points available, we could finish on 20 points, that would push us to 13th position is the highest we could finish if all the team's on 20 points or less lose all their games.
Broncos look like they have given up, i reckon we are a chance of catching them..

Broncos on 18 points have
Warriors
Canberra
Storm
Dogs

Titans on 18 points have
Knights
Sharks
Souths
Dolphins

Wests Tigers on 20 points have
Saints
Roosters
Cowboys
Panthers

Saints on 12 points have
