The Dragons played well against the Panthers last week, taking the lead twice early; however, they could not continue. They had the perfect chance to win, with Panthers half Nathan Cleary leaving the field with an injury.
The Dragons are a dangerous team when they get going, but they don’t know how to finish games off. While it may seem like a surprise since they have Ben Hunt, he can’t do it all himself and needs more help from his teammates.
The Rabbitohs got back on track with a win over the Titans, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story. It was a game of two halves, as the Titans looked the better side and went into halftime leading by six points. The Rabbitohs came out firing in the second half, running away with the game and adding more misery to the Titans.
While it’s hard to look past the Rabbitohs this weekend, they will be missing some key players, such as Cameron Murray, Jai Arrow, and Latrell Mitchell, but they still have attacking power to be a problem for any side.
