Nope, they can't do it. A huge hit from Adam Blair on Nightingale ended the game. WARRIORS WIN!

Green nails it out. Two seconds to go.. scrum. ONE PLAY.

Dragons didn't look like doing it..a heave on last is taken, besides the RTS and Fusitua almost making it a calamity.

Warriors try to direct a field goal there but it went awry, Green kicks it deep so the Dragons have to go the length.

McInnes tries to grubber one through but Maumalo dives on it. Penalty Warriors, offside.

Dragons make a big return! Dufty turns inside for Pereira, the youngster grabs 50 metres before the Dragons get the whistle. Big set coming.

Dragons roll downfield, but again, execution fails them. Warriors ruck it out.

PENALTY DRAGONS! Hunt again feigns the kick, goes through and is collected high.

Controlled set from the Warriors. It had Blake Green's fingerprints on it, he took a stellar run then kicked for the sideline. Breather for their forwards as everyone dawdles to the scrum.

Dragons can't pull the trigger for the option. They went left but Widdop throws it forward. Let off for the visitors. They can regroup.

After an interlude for Sam Lisone being hurt. Dragons get tackled on last. Warriors having to do the hard yards.

PENALTY DRAGONS! Offside again, we go again.

Jeremy Latimore with a big effort there forced the issue.. and the Warriors take it offside. The crowd right into this now.

Dragons stripped the numbers this time, got it left.. Lafai took on his man then tried to flick it to Pereira.. the winger dived over, sadly it was forward.

Its all Dragons now. Aitken skipped out his man, before Beale hammers the ball out. Six more.

Penalty Dragons. Dufty does some dancing before he is snuffed out. Warriors done for offside.

Hunt sees the defense rush up, jinks left and sees Widdop on his left, toes through and gets the repeat set.

Kata is strongarmed near the sideline, and gets it dislodged.

Johnson steers one through, and Widdop had to surrender.

Graham tries to poke through the line, but gets it ripped out. Luke with the steal. Warriors needed that! Now they're back on the attack.

BUNKER TIME! Luciano Leilua might have got the Dragons back in this.

Dragons have a good chance now, young Pereira with a strong tackle which forced the error.

Some positive intent from the Dragons first set. Leilua introduced and facilitated a short side play but the kick is too long, RTS takes easily.

KICK-OFF! Here we go!

Dragons have trudged their way back onto the field, ready to kick-off! They have a mountain to climb to get back into this contest. Warriors have looked slick, and just powerful. They get first use.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! It was ruled a loose carry, so Dragons get more frustrated.. and Warriors have a seven tackle set.

BUNKER TIME! Lafai looked for all money to score.. checking grounding and obstruction.

RTS is playing with that right side defense. He just glided past Aitken then the centre makes a second dig that is penalised.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! It wasn't going to be a four-pointer. The main thing though, is the interference..

BUNKER TIME! We're off to the room for the first time.. grounded by the Dragons, checking interference.

It's 1-1 between Fusitua and Pereira now. The young winger takes a superb catch, although that is the highlight of a standard Dragons set that sees the kick go straight down RTS' throat.

Warriors controlling the game atm, now a Hunt kick goes dead. Seven tackle set for the visitors.

Both teams getting to their final tackle and kicking for field position. Dragons have to be weary of the Warriors back three, as Maumalo turned Dufty into a springboard.

It quickly follows a second, Tariq Sims caught inside the ten. Warriors opt for the two.

Now, the Warriors have their first penalty of the contest. McInnes with some extra work in the ruck. Full set within the 30.

Sloppy set there from the Dragons. The passes went to ground, or were too late then on last, Beale takes Widdop ball and all, forcing the changeover.

Now a fourth for the Dragons. Dufty drifted left, threw a lovely cut-out for Pereira, who cuts inside, clipped high. Tapped and go.

Bullocking run from Tariq Sims, earns the Dragons third penalty of the arvo.

Warriors stripped the numbers, did the hard yards.. had Hunt isolated but it went forward.

Paasi goes through, can see the line.. but it's dislodged. Warriors will get it back though, Dragons inside the ten.

There's a counter attack! RTS breaks free from the scrum, goes 50 and now, it's Warriors on the offense.

Another big leap from Fusitua! He takes it again, but Pereira and co catches him. Dragons working it out on a sunshine-drenched WIN Stadium. They get a leg up with their second penalty.

Frizzell bursts through the middle, tries to find a support runner but Widdop is a step behind. Johnson grabs it and Warriors counter.

Some enterprise from the Saints, they tried the sweeping move for Dufty but the energetic fullback is tackled. David Fusitua makes a standard grab for himself to get the Warriors back into possession.
