St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters Preview
An intriguing affair will materialise first-up on Friday when the Dragons host the Roosters in at Jubilee Stadium.
After weeks, months and to be fair, nearly a year of speculation, the Dragons have finally parted ways with coach Anthony Griffin.
Regardless of what he did this season, it was almost certainly going to happen at some point, and with axe swung, it’s onwards and upwards for both parties.
The Dragons have been pretty terrible to be fair, and they were unable to deliver captain Ben Hunt a fairytale 300th game last weekend when falling to the Cowboys in Townsville.
Tautau Moga is due to make his return for the Dragons this week, while the Roosters will have to do it without five-eighth Joey Manu, who suffered a moderate angle ligament injury against the Panthers.
I had the Roosters on top at the start of the season, but they’ve been the NRL’s biggest underperformers and they were truly horrific against the Panthers last week.
Sometimes when a club and coach part ways, the playing group has an immediate reaction, and while I don’t think the Dragons can win this, it could go down to the wire.
