St George Illawarra have gone top on their own after thrashing last year's NRL champions the Melbourne Storm in Sydney yesterday.
The Dragons won 34-14 and have still lost only one game this season, against the Warriors. By contrast, the Storm were dubbed near perfect in the previous outing, coincidentallyalso against the Warriors but were brought down to earth with a thump yesterday. Their performance was loaded with uncharacteristic errors.
Their three tries were all scored by flying winger Josh Addo-Carr, who enhanced his chances of a State of Origin call-up. Addo-Carr also scored a fourth try, at a crucial point in the first half, which was bizarrely ruled out.
The Dragons were impressive and drew standout performances from hooker Cameron McInnes, centre Euan Aitken and fullback Matt Dufty.
The troubled Sea Eagles lost their fifth match in a row but proved competitive against the Roosters in a 22-20 loss yesterday.
North Queensland prop Scott Bolton has been charged with indecent assault following an incident in Bondi on Saturday night.
