Phil Mitchell writes: Dragons supporters could be excused for having slightly mixed feelings about their breakthrough win against Cronulla last Saturday night. As exciting as it was for the Dragons to notch their first win of the season (especially against their arch-rivals in enemy territory), it's a pity that such quality performances have been so infrequent over the past couple of seasons.
It's not as though the Dragons don't have an impressive roster either; any team that includes players of the calibre of Brett Morris, Ben Creagh, Matt Cooper, Jason Nightingale and Jamie Soward should be winning more often than not.

While St George Illawarra have won 11 of their past 13 matches at Kogarah, WIN Jubilee Oval should hold no fears for the Knights. Newcastle not only have a 3-2 record at the venue, but six of their 18-man squad for Sunday's game used to call WIN Jubilee home when they played for the Dragons.
Phil's tip: Dragons by 4.
