NRL is back! Here are FIVE games we can't wait to see in Rounds 3 and 4....

4. Canterbury vs St George Illawarra โ€“ Round 4

Footy on the Queenโ€™s Birthday public holiday. The Queen has been through a lot. Harry left the family and Prince Philip seems like a nut. But to celebrate her stoic attitude through all this, the NRL is commemorating her birthday with a reply of the 1985 Grand Final.

It seems that both teams may be in for long seasons. But looking across the team sheet of St George, they should be a more competitive side then theyโ€™re showing.ย  They have some really good players in Ben Hunt and Paul Vaughan and Corey Norman is now an Origin player. ย And then the Bulldogs looked to be on the up from 2019, they recruited well with Dean Britt and Joe Stimson, but were limp against the Eels. They have Kieran Foran returning in the halves and hopefully the time off has healed his injury as heโ€™s a superstar when heโ€™s healthy. Can he be the spark that ignites their attack?

The Dragons smashed the Bulldogs 36-12 last year, but can the Bulldogs show some mongrel and put some respectability back into the blue and white jersey?

Predicted Headline: Bulldogs bite back!

Predicted Score: Bulldogs 28 โ€“ Dragons 10
