St George Illawarra Dragons Head Coach Steve Price admits the team made many ‘uncharacteristic errors’ in the 30-4 loss to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium, Olympic Park on Saturday.

The Dragons found solace in fullback Kyle Stanley’s first-half try but ultimately conceded five tries and several penalty infringements en route to the defeat.



“It wasn’t one of our better performances put it that way,” said Price.

“We made some uncharacteristic errors that aren’t up to the Dragons standard game.

“Through the trials and last week against Newcastle we were outstanding but three penalties surrounding the play the ball is disappointing.

“We can’t blame the referees as they have a job to do but instead only look at ourselves.

I think the Bulldogs played very well, they ran with intent and with purpose and we were outplayed tonight.

“We dished out a poor performance tonight but will return to training on Tuesday and start preparing for the Tigers next Friday.

Dragons captain Ben Hornby offered a similar account to the goings-on of the game and believes he and his teammates were ‘simply outplayed’ on the night.

“At the end of the day the penalties didn’t lose us the game, we were simply outplayed,” said Hornby.

“We have to fix that before we start complaining about the decisions out there.

“We were under the pump all night and they were good enough to capitalise off it.”

My contribution is simple. We have bought some good players but have stuck to the old pairings and pushed ahead with the Kyle experiment (Kyle stanley is not a fullback IMO but out and out 5/8).
Please bring Kyle to 5/8, Sowie to half, Daniel Vidot into the centres( Raiders fans rate Vidot highly and he looked smooth in the Souths game.
The top fullbacks have blistering speed ie Slater, Stewart etc.They need to have that speed to run wide angles but not lose ground or hit the whole and zoom to the line. Please give Cummins or Kemp the opportunity.Both are very fast and remember that Brett Stewart is not big, rated at 85 kgs I understand.
Go the Dragons!

What about the back 3 of Goodwin, Nighty and Morris, cente Vidot, Hornby wasnt crook in defense last year so revert to where Bennett had him. Drop Fien , Young. Kyle on the bench (same as last year) with King Merrin and one more large forward (Hunt?).

Personally I don't rate Goodwin as a full time fullback. Good depth to fill in here and there but not regularly first grader

Hornby made one of our very few clean line breaks last night.
Granted he shouldn't be defending out in the centres, but geez we were missing Coops and had a rookie in Green making his debut.
The whole game should be forgotten - move on to next week.
We got dusted by the Sharks in round 2 last year and recovered to go on a long winning streak.

Only way for it to be forgotten is with a victory on Friday night. We do need some changes though.

I hear a lot saying 'bring on the tigers'...Even if discipline and handling clears up next week, we will still get walloped if Price doesn't make some changes. Starting with Scott shift and Hornby making way...

KING is gone. Forget him. It's too late....we farked that one up already. That team above is average. Sorry but true. Stanley at centre, stanley at fullback are a big weakness. Scott cant cover cente anymore so we are exposed there. That bench is aweful.

Lol, King is gone. He has talked to Uncle Wayne and been told how bad we have treated him and will refuse to resign for us now.

Just on the Weyman on report incident.....was that the hit he put on Corey Payne after getting pushed over at marker? I noticed Payne stayed down to wait for the video ref to have a look.....maybe my tv was fuzzy, but it looked like Weyman's arm was wrapped around Payne upper arm when he hit him. Did I miss something? Did he he hit him around the jaw first?

Yeh didn't look bad to me. I think they'll both be available to play next week.

I really like this team, in fact it is very similar to what I thought we would go with when I heard we had signed Vidot last year.

I think Ben Hornby summed it up when we won the premiership in 2010. True believers don't dish the team in Round 2. This place is a fkn embarassment to our club. I'd prefere to troll the Storm forum than to read this sh!t. What a bunch of p!ss weak kents some of you are. We are going thru a pretty big change at the moment and some of you p!ss weak kents think we should win every fkn week, well here's the news tossers, it's a dog fight against every team, every week, get fkn used to to it, or just fk off and support some European soccer team that can buy their way to glory.

You p!ss ants call yourselves supporters???, go get fked. Honestly fella's, go get fked. I'm a 41 year old kent and I'll support this club come what may.

It's a fkn privillage to support this club, it's a fkn honour to suppot the Red V, if you can't take upper cuts for this club, well you can fk off as far as I'm concerned.

Round 2, fkn Round 2 and you sh!tants want the place stripped naked, drop him, fk him, bench him, sack him. All from fkn sh!t pieces that never played better than their church 13.

Bunch off fkn softcock, wanna be glory all the time kents. I'm glad I'm sitting here in my pathetic little sh!thole in NW Victoria, far enough away from you wimps that I can't sledgehammer you.

Take a fkn good hard look at yourselves, toughen up, suck it up and be fkn proud to be a St. George supporter.

I'm almost done here, flame me, go on, flame me.



Big Norm Provan - St. George come what may.
