Prediction: St George Illawarra Dragons VS Dolphins 2025-06-06

The Dolphins are set to make a splash against the St George Illawarra Dragons, and I'm not just talking about their fancy new uniforms. With key players like Reece Walsh and David Fifita returning from injury, the Dolphins are looking to ride the wave of momentum and take down the Dragons.

Meanwhile, the Dragons are still basking in the glory of their 20-6 win over Newcastle, thanks in part to the debut of Nathan Lawson, a two-time Olympian and Australia's sevens player of 2024. However, with Christian Tuipulotu returning from a hamstring injury, Lawson is likely to drop out of the side, which could disrupt the team's chemistry.

The odds are in favor of the Dolphins, with BetRivers listing them at 1.55 to win, while the Dragons are at 2.45. I'm going to take the Dolphins to win, but not by a landslide. The Dragons have shown they can put up a fight, and I think this game will be a close one.

My best bet is for the game to go over 47.5 points, with the Dolphins' high-powered offense and the Dragons' newfound confidence in their attack. The over is listed at 1.85, which I think is a steal.

So, there you have it. The Dolphins will take the win, but it'll be a nail-biter. And don't forget to grab some popcorn, because this game is going to be a real showstopper.

Best Bet: Over 47.5 points (1.85)
