St George Illawarra almost pulled off the unlikeliest comeback in the NRL era, but now find themselves at huge risk of missing the finals.
The Dragons trailed Parramatta 44-12 with just 10 minutes remaining at CommBank Stadium on Saturday afternoon.When Feagai dived over in the left corner with eight seconds remaining, the Dragons trailed 44-40, and the unlikeliest comebacks of the year – maybe in the NRL era – looked on the cards.
Both teams must have walked off the field feeling pretty empty. It’s the first time in the NRL era a team has scored 40 points and lost the game.The Eels should never have given up so many points.They will need a miracle to feature in September. It will give you brain freeze working out the permutations, but they basically need to beat Canberra next weekend, and rely on a heap of other results to go their way.The game was only two plays old when St George Illawarra knocked the ball on.
