NRL: St George Illawarra Dragons coach Shane Flanagan speaks to the media after their round 2 loss to the Dolphins.
The Dragons were poor in the first half and were lucky to only trail 10-0 at the break but things got even worse in the second stanza on Sunday.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?St George Illawarra silenced their pre-season critics with a strong victory over the Titans in their season opener, but they couldn’t back it up. “It was the complete opposite to what we had last week, we had energy, we had commitment,” Flanagan said.“Give credit to the opposition, I thought they were really tidy as they stuck to a game plan, ran hard and had only three errors the whole game, so we were poor and they were good.
“The second half was even worse again so we’ve still got some work to do and I’m really, really disappointed that we’ve gone backwards.Dragons skipper Ben Hunt admitted his side, who many predicted to collect the wooden poon this year, was never in the contest.“They ran harder, won the play-the-ball, were too quick at the ruck and Jeremy Marshall-King gave us a bit of a bath to be honest.
