TAB Sportsbet has listed the Wayne Bennett coached St George Illawarra Dragons as the $1.45 favourites for Saturday night's Charity Shield at ANZ Stadium.

Souths are the outsiders at $2.65 and receive an enticing 6.5 points start at the line.

The Dragons have impressed many in their pre season trial wins over Sydney Roosters and Bulldogs recently which has seen them firm from $17 into $11 to take the 2009 Premiership. Punters have rallied to the Red and Whites and backed them to win over $600,000 in Premiership betting as well as Top 4, Top 8, Minor Premiership and other futures markets.

Souths have had a quieter build up with a loss to Wests Tigers followed by a big win over Penrith in Coffs Harbour.

Although listed as a pre season trial the Charity Shield signifies the start of the 2009 season and has seen many a battle between these two traditional rivals.
