Moses Mbye is strong at the back, I would love to see him invited to Maroons camp, would give him the world of confidence and take his game to another level for the Dogs.

Roosters getting the rub of the green early, some tough calls. Hopefully they can get through the next 10 without conceding more points.

I agree, there has been plenty of inconsistencies with their rulings. Last week Souths and Roosters both got away with plenty without being penalised.

Conversion
6‘ – Mitchell converts his own try from near the sideline. He looks to be a man on a mission this evening.

Aaron Woods with ill discipline playing the ball early leading to penalty. Referees have cracked down on that early and he needs to be better for the Bulldogs.

Sydney Roosters have defeated the Bulldogs in four of their past five clashes at ANZ Stadium. Tonight could be a different story in Josh Morris’s 250th game.

Based on the four games that have passed. Combining with Ben Hunt, they have gelled quickly compared to all the other new halves combinations.

Brisbane are really missing Pangai Jr in both attack and defence.

Full Time – The St George Illawarra Dragons have closed out the Newcastle Knights in what was a highly entertaining mostly free-flowing affair, unlike the 40 penalty game we saw the other night. Where there questionable penalties, yes, but then again Newcastle shot themselves in the foot, with the scoreline reflective of a lopsided possession and error count.
Jack de Belin looks a lock for the NSW Origin side, whilst the QLD side would do well to put Ponga in their camp to gain experience from the senior players and support staff. Nene MacDonald will continue his freakish ways of scoring tries over the coming rounds showing plenty of skill and class. Highlight for mine was Gareth Widdop, showing he truly is a class above the halves this year through the first four rounds.
Newcastle showed plenty of resolve to hang around, but having three wooden spoons in back to back seasons, it is obvious the polish would not be there straight away. With Connor Watson out for the best part of two months, Brock Lamb will need to find some confidence to give the Knights more attacking options going forward.
The Dragons join the Warriors as the only unbeaten sides through four rounds of the competition. I cannot wait to see those two sides meet in three weeks time.
Final Score: St George Illawarra Dragons 30 – Newcastle Knights 12
DRAGONS: 30
KNIGHTS: 12

Gareth Widdop looks in a class of his own this year, probably the best kicking game of the halves through four rounds.

70‘ – Tough day for the Knights, they looked in it for about 5 minutes at the start and then the Dragons decided to put on a show.
DRAGONS: 30

Here’s a fun fact: Newcastle went 4-0 in 2015 and still ended up with the wooden spoon.
Somehow though, I don’t think anyone is taking it off Canberra this year.
