The Dragons have a history of being the National Rugby League's most schizophrenic team - perfect one day, terrible the next. Their Jekyll-and-Hyde persona often switches midway through games, which was the case yesterday when they upset co-leaders Penrith 34-28 at WIN Stadium. When asked about the club's knack of squeaking into the bottom rungs of the finals despite their inconsistency, Brown said it was hard to put a finger on the reason why it was the case.
