NRL: The Sharks have smashed the Dragons in round 25 to close in on a top 4 spot.
Dragons captain Ben Hunt has a “big concern” over the team’s inconsistency following a 38-10 loss to the Sharks at WIN Stadium.
The Dragons fought to keep themselves in the match for 56 minutes, but then four tries in 20 minutes saw the Sharks run away with a statement win that has pushed them up to third on the ladder.every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?The result came a week after the Dragons stunned the Titans 32-16 at the same ground — and that had Hunt asking the question that’s likely on the minds of many fans.
“The big concern for me is why can’t we do what we did last week consistently? One week on, one week off,” he said in the post-game press conference.Coach Shane Flanagan conceded the Sharks “had more intent” and summed up his team’s performance as “disappointing,” while highlighting all the areas that cost them.
“We gave them possession, field position and it cooked us — we were just too tired in the end. They played well, they played to their strengths but it was what we did to ourselves,” he said.“Errors, penalties, couldn’t get out of our own end, turned the ball over, cheap shots, lazy high penalties, off-side — you name it, we gave it away in the first half and that was the game.
They’ll finish off the regular season with a tough clash with the Raiders, who are still in the hunt for finals too.“We’ve shown we can beat good sides. We were off tonight, there’s no excuse, I’m the first one to put my hand up to say we weren’t good enough tonight but we need to battle on.
