My Prediction
St. George Illawarra Dragons by 2Ah, the smell of freshly cut grass and the anticipation of grown men brawling over an egg-shaped ball. Rugby, isn't it quite the spectacle? Up for discussion today is the upcoming mashup featuring the Dolphins taking on the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
Putting the statistics under a microscope, things start to become, well, a bit predictable, or at least one would hope. The Dragons are breathing fire in recent games. They have had their hiccups, but they've beaten the triumphant Knights and the stubborn Broncos recently, showing that they're no pushovers.
The Dolphins, on the other hand, have got to be suffering from a bit of seasickness. They won a convincing game against the Canterbury Bulldogs, but before and after that, well, let's just say they weren't flipping any tails. And don’t even get me started on their performance against the Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders. A bit of a bloody bath, wasn't it?
Let's delve a bit into history, shall we? The teams have had their tug of war in the past, and sadly, the Dolphins' record against the Dragons seems more like a sunken treasure. Out of the last four, only one game saw them basking in glory.
Despite being positioned only two spots lower than the Dragons in the Premiership standings, winning this one might not be a walk in the park for our aquatic friends. It's like trying to swim against the current with a belly full of sushi, you might head for the shore thinking you'll win, but chances are, you'll end up regurgitating your lunch, which in this case, symbolize their hopes of victory.
So, after all the blabbering and endless making of aquatic puns, it's time to put the money where the mouth is. Despite the pundits backing a Dolphin victory, I'm seeing a fire-breathing upset. In terms of score, expect it to be as tight as a nun's purse.
