Dragons v Storm | WIN Jubilee Stadium | Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:35
Plenty have declared the Dragons the real deal over the past few weeks as they’ve both methodically and brilliantly disposed of their oppositions on the way to skipping four competition points clear in the race for the minor premiership.
Well, if they can overcome the Storm this week, NRL.com is prepared to jump on the Red V bandwagon too.
It is easily their biggest game of the season: the Storm have proven their bogy side over the past decade, ever since they lost the 1999 grand final through a controversial penalty try. Try as they might, the Storm have mostly had their measure, with the red-and-whites winning just two of the past eight encounters.
The last time they won was a 36-12 victory at ANZ Stadium last year when the Storm were minus eight Origin stars. And in Round 1 this year, in coach Wayne Bennett’s first premiership game at the helm, the Dragons toiled hard for a win but fell short when a Greg Inglis field goal in the 84th minute broke the deadlock.
