Paul McGregor was in a pressure cooker before the game but the heat was cranked up again after St George Illawarra's 22-2 loss to lowly Canterbury.They have failed to score a try in their last two gamesAfter just two wins from their past 14 games, time is running out for the Dragons' coach to save his job as they lumber through their worst season start since 2005.
A team stacked with representative talent, the Dragons could not form a winning combination despite several changes to the spine which McGregor had hoped would spark improvement. Corey Norman's move to fullback did not have the desired result, while it was a tough debut at halfback for Adam Clune, who made the team's only line break.
And while the disappointment intensified for the Dragons, the Bulldogs rallied for Kieran Foran's 200th NRL game. Foran made his return from a shoulder injury which had threatened to end his season.
