Friday, August 14, 7.55 PM, Round 14, Bankwest Stadium, Sydney, Parramatta Eels take on St George Illawarra Dragons NRL Match Preview
The Dragons form of recent have them sinking into the abyss which proposes this round won’t be any different for them, the Eels have all momentum and motivation to make this match fixture all about them, one-way traffic for the St George Illawarra Dragons, the Dragons haven’t been short for effort, but game management could be better as they have suffered some loses after leading early in a few matches but this being the last match fixture played under Paul McGregor anything is possible!
