Warriors stunned as Dragons pull off surprise victory

The Dragons have pulled off an unlikely 30-12 victory over the Warriors at WIN Stadium in Wollongong.

The visitors dominated the opening 15 minutes of the match, but the Red V limited the damage showing plenty of defensive resolve before making the game their own.

In his 100th first-grade game, Zac Lomax continued his stunning run of form despite the frenzy around his signing with Parramatta earlier this week.

The Warriors looked threatening close to the Dragons’ line early as Shaun Johnson strolled over untouched to open the scoring.

Off the back of a bombed try from the Dragons owing to a forward pass, Mosese Suli broke through for the home side — set up by a pin-point ball from Ben Hunt.

With the conversion set up on a difficult angle, Lomax was unable to nail the kick to level the scores.

However, the Dragons soon responded with back-to-back tries as Mikaele Ravalawa barged over the line from close range to flip the script.

Hunt then extended the Red V’s lead — stretching out to score St George Illawarra’s third consecutive try.
