Wests Tigers vs St George Illawarra Dragons NRL 2026 Round 24 FAQs

St George Illawarra produced one of their best performances of the season last weekend, beating the fourth-placed Sharks 24-16 with a committed defensive display. They now get an opportunity to record consecutive victories for the first time in 12 months against a Tigers side that has completely lost its way.

That makes St George Illawarra -1.5 the preferred line selection. The Dragons have won six of their last eight meetings with the Tigers and comfortably handled this matchup earlier in the season, winning 24-10 in Round 18.

The Tigers' lack of attacking production also makes Wests Tigers Under 22.5 points appealing. They have scored 22 points or fewer in seven of their last eight meetings with the Dragons and have failed to score more than 22 in seven consecutive games this season. Across their last five matches, the Tigers are averaging just 7.8 points per game.

Tyrell Sloan Anytime Tryscorer is the player angle. Sloan has scored seven tries in his last seven appearances and crossed again in the Dragons' upset win over Cronulla after linking with Hamish Stewart. Against a Tigers defence ranked 17th for points conceded and 16th for linebreaks allowed, his scoring streak can continue.

St George Illawarra have won six of their last eight games against the Tigers.
The Dragons won the first meeting this season 24-10.
Wests Tigers have lost seven consecutive matches.
The Tigers have not scored more than 22 points in any of their last seven games.
Tyrell Sloan has scored seven tries in his last seven games.

Head to Head

The Dragons have dominated the recent matchup, winning four of the last five meetings and six of the last eight overall.

St George Illawarra won 24-10 when these sides met in Round 18, while they also produced a 56-14 demolition of the Tigers in 2024.

The Tigers' attack has regularly struggled in this matchup. They have been held to 22 points or fewer in seven of the last eight meetings, including scores of 10, 14, 12 and 14 across four of the past five.

Wests Tigers Form Analysis

The Wests Tigers return from the bye looking to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Their most recent performance was at least more competitive, with Adam Doueihi kicking a late field goal to put them ahead of Parramatta before the Eels stole a 16-13 victory in the closing stages.

The larger problem is an attack that has almost completely disappeared. The Tigers have been outscored 208-67 during their seven-game losing streak and are averaging only 7.8 points across their last five matches.

They had plenty of opportunities against Parramatta, winning the possession and territory battles, but once again struggled to turn good field position into points. That lack of execution makes it difficult to trust them even against a Dragons defence that has had its own problems this season.

St George Illawarra Dragons Form Analysis

The Dragons produced a much-needed glimpse of their potential with a 24-16 upset of Cronulla last weekend.

Dean Young's side completed at 84 per cent and produced one of its strongest defensive performances of the season despite Cronulla enjoying more possession and considerably more attacking territory.

The performance of the Dragons' young forwards was particularly encouraging. Hamish Stewart scored a try and created another for Tyrell Sloan, while Ryan Couchman produced a huge defensive effort and Loko Pasifiki Tonga continued his development through the middle.
