A much anticipated game at
Sydney Showground had the Dragons put on a fine performance against Souths,
in front of a crowd of 15,219, coming out the victors by 48-10
Souths started with a hiss
and a roar, but couldn't manage to put on any points.
The Dragons, on the other
hand, went across the line, in the 9th minute, the first time they went
on attack.
And things got better from
then on, including the try to Gasnier in the photo.
The Dragons put on 26 unanswered
points in the first half, 5 tries, to lead at the break by 26-0
Souths had a small glimmer
early in the second half when Craigie finally put some points on the board.
But any hope the Rabbitohs had were soon squashed as the Dragons players
spread the try fest around the team, getting over another 5 times in the
second half, making a total of 9 tries to 2 for the game
Outstanding players for the
Dragons included Smith, who always seemed to be near any plays, Hooper,
Roberts, who was brilliant in defence, Gasnier, and Hornby.
Really, it has been a team
effort, and the Dragons thoroughly deserve their biggest scoreline so far
this season, handing Souths their biggest loss this season.
