In an early wooden spoon clash, both the Gold Coast Titans and the St George Illawarra Dragons are struggling with three defeats each this season. Historically, the Dragons have dominated this matchup and might continue their trend, having won 5 of their last 6 encounters with the Titans. The Titans are off to a poor start, managing only 16 points or fewer in each game, while conceding 98 points overall. On the other hand, the Dragons have shown some competitive spirit despite their losses, ranking high in run metres and set completions.

Gold Coast Titans vs St George Illawarra Dragons Preview


Three games played each and three defeats for both sides. That makes this an early wooden spoon clash and I think the Dragons have the slight edge from their opening performances and can maintain their dominance of the Titans.

  • St George have won 5 of their last 6 games against the Gold Coast.
  • 8 of the last 11 games between St George and the Gold Coast have gone under the game total
  • The Titans have scored 16 points or less in each of their 3 games this season.
  • The Gold Coast have given up at least 1 try in each of their 3 matches to opposing fullbacks.

Head to Head 


St George have won the last three against the Gold Coast all by 16 points or more. 

The last time they met in Round 6 last season, the Dragons ran out to a 24-4 halftime lead and ran away 38-16 victors.

Three of the last four games between the Dragons and Titans has gone under the game total.

Gold Coast Titans Make Poor Start


Not much doing for the Titans again in 2026 as they look to be set for another wooden spoon battle this season. 

Three losses from three starts and conceding 98 points is not the start that new head coach Josh Hannay would have imagined things going. The Titans have also struggled to find any spark in attack, scoring 16 points or less in their opening three matches of the year. 

The addition of Jayden Campbell obviously helps and had its moments last week in the Gold Coast’s 30-16 loss to the Cowboys, but there is not enough structure or danger on the outside and points will be an issue for the Titans all season. 

St George Illawarra Dragons Competitive In Defeat


The Dragons stayed within reach of Parramatta last week until the final 8 minutes of the match, going down to the Eels 30-20 after the late run away try by Josh Addo-Carr. 

The loss to Parra was the Dragons third of the season, however, they were in all three of their matches until the final 20 mins, including the 46-20 loss to Melbourne. 

Shane Flanagan has the troops doing plenty right, ranked fourth in the NRL with 1,819.7 run metres per game and even completing 79.8% of their sets, which is the sixth-highest in the league. 

The issue is creativity as their attack looks flat most of the time and is only creating 3.7 line breaks per game (15th in the NRL).

Verdict

Clint Gutherson is backed to score as the Dragons win as the underdogs. Expect the match to stay under the 51.5 game total.
