St George Illawarra Dragons vs Redcliffe Dolphins Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: NRL Round 17, 2024

St George Illawarra Dragons and the Redcliffe Dolphins will both look to return to winning ways when they clash on Sunday, June 30, at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in the NRL Round 17. The Dragons are 11th in the table, while the Dolphins occupy the sixth spot.

St George Illawarra are coming off a bye and will have the chance to grab a top-eight spot for the first time this season. In their last outing, they failed to break into the playoff positions after losing to the Manly Sea Eagles.

The Dragons have been decent while playing at home with four wins in their past five games at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. They will look to secure another home victory while seeking payback on the team that humiliated them 38-0 in Round 2.

Redcliffe aim to reclaim their top-four spot after losing to Melbourne Storm last week. They gave the league leaders a run for their money, losing by a narrow six points. A win would place the Dolphins back in fourth, displacing Sydney.

Both teams have their State of Origin stars back, thus setting up an intriguing NRL opener on Sunday. They have met three times before, with the Dolphins winning twice at Kayo Stadium. St. George Illawarra's only victory came at home, so with their home record this season, they could even the score.
