The Roosters humiliated the Dragons on Anzac Day and despite the improvement Shane Flanagan’s team have shown since then, the Roosters should prove far too good again.
Best Bet
The Roosters are a much better team than the Dragons and given their ability to run up a big score they look a sound bet to beat up on a St George Illawarra team in a vulnerable spot.
Trent Robinson’s team have ascended to fourth on the ladder on the back of seven wins in their last nine clashes dating back to Anzac Day.
They have done it on the back of the best attack in the NRL that has seen them post 26-plus in eight of their last nine, reaching 40 four times.
The Dragons have certainly been major improvers as the season has gone on but they are 6-12 ATS off a double digit win and 5-16 ATS off scoring 26 or more points.
The Roosters have thrown up some poor performances but their good performances are such that when they are on they can really crush a team.
