In the upcoming Magic Round showdown, the Wests Tigers are looking to capitalize on their recent success, while the St George Illawarra Dragons aim to bounce back from a disappointing loss.
According to nrl.com.au, both clubs have faced challenges in recent years but are starting to show positive signs as they strive to improve their positions in the NRL standings.
Following a thrilling golden-point victory over the Sharks, confidence is high in Tiger Town.
They are seeking a second consecutive win at Suncorp Stadium this Saturday night.
Conversely, the Dragons are reeling from a tough defeat against the Roosters during their annual ANZAC Day clash, prompting coach Shane Flanagan to urge his team for an "immediate response."
The Dragons have yet to secure a win at Magic Round, having lost all four of their previous matches at this event, with a bye last year adding to their struggle.
In contrast, the Wests Tigers have managed to win three out of five Magic Round matches, despite falling to the Dolphins 24-12 last season.
