The Dolphins will be keen to put Round 1 behind them while the Dragons put a line in the sand with a super-impressive performance and will be hoping to build on an impressive victory.
Best Bet
Wayne Bennett has shown no fear by making some key changes to his team this week, dropping halfback Sean O’Sullivan and centre Tesi Niu. Isaiya Katoa and Jake Averillo have been named and are upgrades.
The Saints are not without their own upgrades with Blake Lawrie and Luciano Leilua joining a winning side.
This game is being played in Redcliffe and that gives the edge to the Dolphins here. The Dolphins have covered all three at the ground.
The Dragons have covered just six of 15 interstate and four of 12 off a double digit win.
Surprised that the Dolphins are underdogs,
Same Game Multi
Jamayne Isaako comes off an elite season where he scored 24 tries in 24 games.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow comes off an all-time shocker but had a great tryscoring season last year and scored in his only clash with the Saints in 2023.
Value Bet
Jarrod Wallace is a player who rarely gets the credit he deserves but can get over close to the line. He has 12 tries across the last four seasons – 58 games – so on data alone he is value. He has scored three tries in his last five games against the Dragons.
