As has been their custom over the past 3 years, the Dragons have simply shut down every attack they face and turned every opponent towards desperation. Some can keep it close and even sneak away with the occasional victory, but most simply fade away and become victims of the best defence in the competition. South Sydney, the team with the worst defence in the competition, hosts the reigning premiers on Monday night at ANZ Stadium.
This could be a massacre. The 'Pride of the League' could quickly turn into the 'Shame of the Week'... If the Rabbitohs fail to bring their best to Homebush, things could turn nasty in the Burrow but fear not my feathered, fluffy-tailed friends, it won't be as bad as you fear. The likes of Burgess and Taylor launch themselves into the fire, so to speak, and gain some respectability but Souths just aren't on the same level. Dragons too good.
My Tip: Dragons 22-4
