NRL: Dragons Vs Storm – Match Insights & Our Tips

4 months ago - thesportingbase NRL: Dragons Vs Storm – Match Insights & Our Tips Image

After their Las Vegas opener, the St. George Illawarra Dragons return home to face the Melbourne Storm at WIN Stadium on Saturday.

The Dragons are still ruing a brutal golden-point loss to the Bulldogs that slipped away in the dying seconds, while Melbourne arrive full of confidence after steamrolling Parramatta in Round 1 to continue their incredible opening-round dominance. St George Illawarra will take some belief from last year’s upset win over the Storm, but Craig Bellamy’s side rarely stays quiet for long. With team changes on both sides and plenty of bounce-back motivation in play, this clash shapes as another intriguing contest for punters.
