They didn’t get the result but Dragons star back Zac Lomax still owned the moment of the match, with his skills on show in the 22nd minute. Running out of room on his edge, Lomax executed a perfectly placed flick pass for Ben Hunt to dive over untouched.
“I thought the boys were great, especially in the first half going into the wind which was fairly significant. The whole performance was impressive after not getting back from New Zealand until Monday night. We had four days to get ourselves up and to play in conditions like that, which is hard on the body, they did a remarkable job. When I pulled the curtains back and saw the weather this morning, that was filling me with confidence, two halves that manage the end of sets well and kick well.” – Knights coach Adam O’Brien”They handled it better. Those three kick tries was the thing that changed it, we just didn’t do that well. It’s inconsistent and whether it’s talent in the dressing room or something else underlying, I need to get to the bottom of it. We know we can go when we need to but we’re just not consistent enough. Tonight was tricky conditions but there’s no excuse.” –
The Knights will enjoy another week at home when they kick off Round 6 with a Thursday night clash with the Roosters while the Dragons will head to Campbelltown to meet with the Wests Tigers.
