NRL teams prepare for 2026, with the Dragons seeking improvement after several close losses.
As NRL teams continue their preparation for the 2026 season, attention will quickly turn to predictions, expectations, performances, and the all-important new recruits.
One of the clubs sweating on a major turnaround are the St George Illawarra Dragons.
The Red V managed to get the better of the Canberra Raiders, Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm - three of the 2025 top four - throughout the regular season, and lost a staggering ten games by less than ten points.
Eight of those were by less than six, and three were by a single point.
