The 2025 NRL season's Round 27 clash on Saturday afternoon sees the St. George Illawarra Dragons take on Penrith Panthers for their last regular-season matchup at WIN Stadium.
The Dragons have had a disappointing season and sit 15th on the ladder with just one game left to play. St. George Illawarra have struggled badly on the road with a 2-10 record but have been more competitive at home with a 6-5 win record.
The defending premiers Panthers have already locked in a finals spot but are on a three-game losing streak after defeats to the Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs and Warriors. Penrith will be desperate to avoid carrying four straight defeats into the finals but won't take the Dragons lightly -- a team that has slayed four of the current top-eight teams this season.
The Panthers have a strong head-to-head matchup against the Dragons, winning seven of their last eight encounters. Nathan Cleary has particularly stood out, bagging six stries in his last six appearances against St. George Illawarra.
