Who will win Dragons vs Panthers?
As we told you in our guide to St. George Illawarra's season, the Dragons are a club under immense pressure to improve after a dreadful 2019. A round one loss to Wests Tigers at home in Wollongong only adds to their troubles.
Welcoming a Penrith side to Netstrata Jubilee Stadium that is coming off an upset win over the Roosters doesn't augur well for the Red V.
Back-to-back home losses to start the season would immediately put the Dragons in a hole – and that's what we think is going to happen.
