Saturday, July 18, 3.00 PM, Round 10, WIN Stadium, Wollongong, St George Illawarra Dragons take on Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs NRL Match Preview

The unpredictable clash of the round, Dragons showing some rejuvenation against Manly getting the win in style, the Bulldogs losing their head coach Dean Pay, this match stirs ingredients of unpredictability, the Bulldogs might respond and win, but then again the Bulldogs might not respond and get smashed, this is a hard one to predict, one particular statistic that stands out for this game and it supports the dogs possibly getting a win is that the Bulldogs have won 86% of the time at this venue.
