Defiant St George Illawarra stars have insisted their round one blockbuster with newly crowned world champions Melbourne won't be the mismatch it appears on paper.

Bookmakers have taken a set against the Red V for the season-opening clash at AAMI Park on March 10, installing the Dragons as $3.75 outsiders to topple the premiers in Melbourne. It's the longest price in head-to-head betting afforded to any team in round one.
But after the clubs completed vastly contrasting preseason preparations over the weekend, hooker Mitch Rein and returning prop Michael Weyman declared the Dragons were confident of troubling the Storm.
"We'll be ready and we're confident we can match it with them," Rein said after the Dragons slipped to a 28-10 Charity Shield defeat to the Souths on Friday night.
"They've got the good players that they have in Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk, but we're confident we've got the roster here to go out and really give them a run for their money.
"We pulled their pants down at the end of last year, but it's a new season and we're really looking forward to the challenge down there."
Hahahaha, it has begun!!!
