St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Penrith Panthers Preview

St George Illawarra faces a tough test as they continue their Top 8 battle against Penrith in Wollongong.

The Dragons ended a six-match losing streak to the Panthers with a 22-10 win in Round 13, though both teams were missing Origin stars. St George Illawarra’s key Origin players, Zac Lomax and Ben Hunt, return alongside Raymond Faitala-Mariner.

Penrith, sitting comfortably in second, welcomes back four NSW representatives but remains without Dylan Edwards. Nathan Cleary’s return from a 10-week injury layoff inspired a dramatic 28-26 golden point win over the Dolphins.

Despite St George Illawarra’s solid win over Brisbane and a bye last week, consistency has been a challenge. Penrith’s recent dominance, including their strong performance in the last game, suggests a stern test for the Dragons, who haven’t beaten the Panthers in Wollongong since 2014.
