Check out our Warriors vs Dragons prediction below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Warriors vs Dragons Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>Another unlikely victory has kept the faint flicker of the Dragon’s finals hopes alive and now they head across the ditch to see if they can keep their late-season salvage mission alive.</p> <p>One slip up between now and the end of the season and its curtains for St George, but there arguably hasn’t been a better time to face the Warriors this season.</p> <p>They’ve dropped out of the top four off the back of three straight losses, two of which were at home and a string of horror injuries to key personnel.</p> <p>If the Dragons can play like they did during their ambush against Cronulla last week, they should be able to capitalise on the undermanned Warriors slide and keep their slim finals hopes alive for another week at least.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> St George Illawarra Dragons.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Tryscorer Prediction</h3> <p>We’re finally moving away from our man Leka Halasima for this market, but don’t be surprised to see him pop up elsewhere.</p> <p>Instead, we’re taking the King, who has been in royal touch of late. Clint Gutherson has scored a try in each of his last three appearances against New Zealand and he’s our pick for first try scorer here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Clint Gutherson.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>Each of St. George Illawarra's last five interstate matches have gone over the total match points line.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Over total match points (42.5).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Warriors vs Dragons Anytime Tryscorer Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Leka Halasima</h3> <p>Leka Halasima has scored a try in each of New Zealand's last five matches against opponents that were ranked lower on the ladder.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Corey Allan</h3> <p>In each of New Zealand's last four matches as a favourite, the opposition's starting left wing has scored at least one try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Tanah Boyd</h3> <p>In each of St. George Illawarra's last two away matches, the opposition's starting halfback has scored at least one try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Mathew Feagai</h3> <p>In each of St. George Illawarra's last three matches, its starting left centre has scored a try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad</h3> <p>In each of St. George Illawarra's last two matches at Go Media Stadium, the opposition's starting left centre has scored a try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Adam Pompey</h3> <p>Adam Pompey has scored a try in each of New Zealand's last two matches as a favourite.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Warriors vs Dragons Teams</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>New Zealand Warriors Team List</h3> <p>1.
