That'll be full time and Souths have salvaged some pride in the second half but this will be remembered as the game where the Dragons annihilated their opposition in the first 40. Next week is rep round, the week after that the Dragons will host the Raiders at Wollongong in what could end up being a great game, while Souths will host the Eels on Saturday Night.

Talatau Amone is back on the field
Souths pass off the ground only for it to be let go but some poetic justice in the ends as the Dragons get a penalty for a sheppard.

Lachlan Ilias has been given the hook in this one. Remains to be seen whether he comes back on but for now Blake Taaffe is out there
Lomax nails the conversion, obviously
It was inevitable, the Dragons have crossed again. Their entire team deserves 10 dally M points at this point. Cody Ramsey shrugs his way past Paulo and Ilias and gets 30 on the board in 28 minutes. This could be anything
Dragons get another penalty late in the count.
Lomax returns to form with the boot
Absolute demolition, and that's putting it lightly. Ben Hunt puts up a fairly innocuous kick that Moses Suli simply outenthuses Jaxson Paulo for. 24 nil KTC

Dragons complete the set after points and Souths finally have the ball
Lomax is again away to the right with the conversion
They're saying there's a bit of a 2010 vibe around the joint at Wollongong tonight. This is the best attacking footy I've seen the Drags play in quite some time. Zac Lomax finds himself one on one with Campbell Graham, beats him, gets the flick to Mikaele Ravalawa who himself does well to get rid of Johnston. Phenomenal start to this one
Set restart for SGI
Mathew Feagai breaks about 5 tackles on the first play and is brought down with about 10 metres to go to the line
Challenge unsuccessful as they deem Cook's knee dislodged the ball
Dragons don't make as many yards in this set but as I type that Souths have given away a penalty. They are challenging though
Lomax with his first foot wrong of the night, spraying the conversion to the right
It's a slaughter at the moment. The Dragons motioned as if they were going to spread it left, but Ben Hunt opts to go inside to a hard running Jack de Belin, who beats some poor tackle attempts on his way to the line.
Dragons get a penalty coming out of trouble thanks to a nice dummy half run from the milestone man Andrew McCullough

Campbell Graham puts the ball down, Dragons survive
