Oh, put on your seatbelts, we're about to dive into the thrill ride that is the matchup between the St. George Illawarra Dragons and the Melbourne Storm. This is round 4, folks, still fresh as a supermarket chicken but seasoned enough to offer us a good show.
These two have certainly given us nail-biting performances before. Now, let's not forget the haunting echoes from that thrilling game last August where the Dragons snatched a narrow victory from the jaws of defeat. Ah, but then, just a year prior, the Storm trampled over the Dragons; enough to make a saint lose faith. Moral of the story; past is past and today is today.
Now let's talk about form, like an artist weaves a masterpiece, the Storm are weaving wins. 2 for 2, flowing on cloud nine. And let's not forget to appreciate that number 1 position in the premiership. But the Dragons? More like damp squibs at this point, managing only to etch their name on the loss column twice, and sitting rather bashfully at #13 in the premiership.
And if we talk about momentum, the Storm's recent victories include impressive scores against the Panthers and the Eels. The Dragons, on the other hand, despite their fiery name, seem more like embers these days; dimming ever further with those recent losses to the Rabbitohs and the Bulldogs.
Taking all these supremely important factors into account, and without much further ado, let me drop my prediction like a hot potato on a winter's day.
