Thursday, July 30, 7.50 PM, Round 12, Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Sydney, St George Illawarra Dragons take on South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL Match Preview

The Dragons have the edge on the Rabbitohs at this venue but they also need this win more as another loss could see them drop further down the ladder and away from the top eight which would almost see them not making the top eight, on the other side of the fence Souths get a big win and they could climb into the eight, both teams have shown talent and potential throughout the season but this game means a lot for both teams, this should be an emotional thriller.
