NRLDragonsSouths Match Report 📝
Instead it was Souths who quickly went two tries ahead as first Mitchell then Walker were able to isolate rookie centre Amone one-on-one for a 12-0 lead after 15 minutes.
Ben Hunt's boot dragged the Red V back into the match; his early grubber caught the Souths backs out of position for Billy Burns to touch down then a low cross-field kick bounced off Walker's fingertips for a grateful Tyrell Fuimaono to plant the ball down. He also nailed his third 40/20 of the season to claim a share of top spot in that category with Manly's Daly Cherry-Evans.
Souths, though, weathered that storm and pulled away again in the seven minutes before the break with Taane Milne then Jaydn Su'A getting through the Dragons' left-side defence, with the latter held up for an age by Norman before eventually fighting the ball to the ground for a 24-10 half-time advantage.
The Dragons were able to exert some pressure early in the second half but produced an awful kick chase that allowed Jaxson Paulo to run 40 metres, with the Red V forced to backpedal for an entire set in which Souths went the length and Josh Mansour scored at the end of it. Burns slipped a wonderful offload in traffic for Tyrell Sloan to glide his way to the line with 15 minutes remaining but Souths finished like a steam train.
