Jack Wighton had a nightmare return from COVID-19 as St George Illawarra stayed on track for a surprise finals berth with a drama-charged win in Wollongong | SMHsport
Even after 114 years of top grade rugby league, you can still go to a game every week and potentially see something you never thought possible.
But it proved to be vital as the Dragons edged closer to a surprise finals berth with a 12-10 win in cyclonic conditions at WIN Stadium, a match which ended in controversy when Ben Hunt escaped penalty for nabbing Tom Starling at full-time from a seemingly offside position at marker.“What did you think? I’ve only seen it once,” Canberra coach Stuart said. “I only needed to see it once. [On Monday] I’ll get an apology or justification of it not being a penalty.
“It was a massive win in the context of the ladder,” Hunt said. “There’s a number of teams around us, and they are one of them. We’ve just got to keep knocking those ones off.” On the day when they celebrated 40 years since the inception of the Illawarra Steelers, few of the old legends would have ever seen conditions like Sunday.
