Dragons end 2003 in style
Brisbane's Sunday Mail described Saints 26-25 victory as 'an all time low' for the Broncos who have crashed to a record 7th successive loss.

In his weekly column, former Bronco Trevor Gilmeister said it was: 'the worst defeat in the club's history.'

He gave credit to St George and re-quoted Dragons coach Nathan Brown when he described Saints as "a reserve grade team with a couple of big names thrown in."

Gilmeister said: "When you have 12 players with State of Origin or Test experience and you lose to a reserve grade team with two Origin players thrown in, something is very wrong.

"Remember how everyone carried on when the 'Baby Broncos' beat the Wests Tigers last year?

"Great effort, sure, but that team still had some guys like Scott Prince, Brad Meyers, and Stuart Kelly in there to pad out the numbers... everyone was elated when the Broncos got up that night but the Dragons' win was a much better victory than what the Baby Broncos did at Campbelltown.

"When you look at the magnitude of the game and compare the level of experience between the 2002 Tigers and the 2003 Broncos, those young Dragons should walk away from this season with their heads held high.

"It is no comparison. The Dragons' win far outweighs the Baby Broncos' win."

Saints have defeated the Broncos twice in 2003, also winning 32-16 at WIN Stadium in round 17.
