The Warriors’ first real attacking raid in the second half ends up with Shaun Johnson rocketing a kick over the dead ball line. That was starting to look a little promising, but ended with one of Johnson’s worst kicks for a while.
And by contrast, the Dragons march straight up the other end with a long break by Moses Suli in their own half, and then finish the set with Ben Hunt neatly dinking it into the in goal for a Warriors dropout.
Shaun Johnson’s dropout bounces short of the 10-metre line, it’s bobbing all around like a cork, and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck inexplicably decides to grab it. I’m sure that was going to eventually go 10 metres. Has he bothered to brush up on the rules since returning to league because you can’t touch the ball before it goes 10 metres.
It means Zac Lomax has an easy penalty kick from right in front to extend the lead. It’s all going St George Illawarra’s way with 28 minutes left.
