Brisbane’s finals hopes are in tatters after St George Illawarra hung on to win 30-26 to give last year’s grand finalists their sixth consecutive loss. No team in premiership history has lost that many games in a row and won the title. The Dragons pack mauled and monstered the Broncos in the first half with second-rower Jaydn Su’A, dropped from the Queensland side, playing one of his finest games against his former club at Suncorp Stadium.
In the 63rd minute fullback Tristan Sailor, who had not enjoyed a happy night, found centre Kotoni Staggs with a flick pass and the Brisbane skipper raced 55m to bring the crowd to life. Dragons No.6 Kyle Flanagan landed a penalty but Sloan was poor on defence to allow bench hooker Blake Mozer to crash over. Staggs brushed past Sloan to set up a heart-stopping finish. Brisbane were woeful for the opening three-quarters of the match and have slipped four points out of the top eight.
