My Prediction
Canberra Raiders by 13Pour yourself a cold one, sports fans! As we take a gander at the impending clash between the Canberra Raiders and the St. George Illawarra Dragons, it becomes crystal clear who's toasting champagne and who's sipping sour grapes. With the Raiders standing tall at the peak of the NRL Premiership 2025 season ladder and the Dragons floundering at the 11th spot, it seems like the writing's already on the stadium wall.
The bygone encounters between these warriors of the field reveal a neat archaeological stratigraphy of Raiders' victories - etched out three times out of the last four with a recurring pattern of out-scoring the Dragons. Our Dragon friends might not enjoy this little history lesson, but let's not ignore the pachyderm in the room.
Zooming in on the recent skirmishes, the Raiders again manifest an undeniable upper hand. An immaculate winning streak in their last five games stands as a shining beacon amidst the Dragons' motley collection of victories and trouncing. It's like comparing an artist's carefully crafted portfolio to a kindergartner's paint mishaps.
Then there's the seasonal records that scream the Raiders' dominance. Their immense 13-3 compared to the Dragons' lackluster 6-8. It's about as balanced as a one-legged kangaroo.
So, my sports-loving compadres, taking the season round, performance breakdown, past confrontations, and overall positions into account, it's high time we hoisted the Raiders as our victors, outscoring the Dragons.
