Great game, slow start by the Dragons. Wigan were 8-0 up after 4 minutes IIIRC. George Carmont scored a great try off a kick, then a few minutes later Brett Morris scored down the sideline (Jamie Soward missed the goal horribly) & continued down on the left side with Matt Cooper who scored a real centre's try. Afterwards George Carmont got his double after getting a great ball to run like 60 metres through the middle & noone could catch him! He was quick as. Brett Morris soon got another try & was great all night. Just before halftime Wigan had a few repeat sets but the Dragons held on tight before Sam Tomkins kicked a field goal from right in front. After halftime Cameron King scored the winner out of dummy-half & Jamie Soward kicked a field goal to put them 6 infront. The last 15 minutes was very exciting & nerve racking. Wigan had so many penalties & the Dragons had everything go against them. Matt Cooper was almost sent off but Wigan just couldn't break the Dragons line. It was great game all in all, i enjoyed it alot! :D

man i was impressed by the dragons, played with a lot of heart and what a defensive 2nd half... look out!
On the other hand i couldnt believe how much the ref and commentators were biased toward wigan... i expected it but not to that degree...
 
Also other players that should get a mention, Jon Green was pretty good, so was Michael Weyman. Ben Creagh was outstanding & Cameron King looked good for the limited minutes he was on, he scored the winner but unfortunately tore something, so he had to go off.
 
not surprised in the least to hear the dragons won this. they have the attitude of 'we can beat anyone anytime anywhere'...
 
It is amazing what Wayne has done with the Dragons..The thought of having him at the Knights is :drool:
