'Awesome to see what it means': Aidan Sezer reflects on emotional scenes at Leichhardt

Gold Coast NRL coach John Cartwright refused to blame Nate Myles after his indiscipline proved costly in the Titans’ one-point loss to St George Illawarra.
The Queensland State of Origin star abused a referee after Trent Merrin’s try on the hour mark put the Dragons 18-12 in front, and the forward’s sin-binning left the Titans a man down for 10 minutes.
Gareth Widdop’s field goal extended the lead during this spell and Gold Coast could not add any more points until Brad Takairangi touched down with two minutes on the clock.
“If you’re going to start sin-binning blokes for abusing referees, you’re not going to have many players on the field,” Cartwright said, adding there had been no edict sent down from the NRL to clamp down on backchat to officials.
The Titans’ coach instead felt the blame for the club record-equalling sixth consecutive defeat rested with his players’ handling errors, which numbered 13.
“When the game was there to be won, the other side was better,” Cartwright said.
“We created enough chances to win. To score 18 points in a home game against St George … we expect to win.”
