The St. George Illawarra Dragons are set to take on the Parramatta Eels at WIN Stadium in Round 17 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season.
The Dragons have had a difficult season in the NRL as they head into Round 17 with the second-worst defensive record in the league. They suffered eight defeats in the opening 13 games of the campaign, and are placed 11th on the ladder heading into the clash against the Eels.
The Eels were the worst team through the opening 10 rounds of the NRL season, as they were placed last on the ladder with just two wins to their name. However, there has been a slight upturn in their fortune heading into this round as they have taken two wins and as many losses to put them up to 15th on the ladder.
