Dragons 33 defeat Tigers
22
The St George Illawarra Dragons
have posted their first win since round two with a resounding victory over
the more fancied Wests Tigers side at WIN Stadium tonight.
Saints came back from a 10-nil
deficit to out-muscle the Tigers who have crashed to their third consecutive
loss.
Representative duties, injuries
and suspensions saw the Dragons without a number of their star players.
Bailey, Cooper, Barrett, Blacklock, Gasnier, Ryles and Timmins were all
absent from the Dragons side.
Half back Willie Peters,
hooker Aaron Gorrell and back rower Lance Thompson (stand-in captain) led
the side to a much needed win.
St George Illawarra Dragons
33 (Hookey 3, Peters, J Smith tries. Gorrell 5/5, Roberts 1/2 goals, Peters
1 field goal.)
Wests Tigers 22 (Wilson,
Wozniak 2, Mears tries. Caine 3/4 goals.)
