RTS, Warriors hunt for top four spot against in form Dragons - LIVE ...
Dragons stars Zac Lomax and Ben Hunt were outstanding as the Red V produced one of the upsets of the season with a dominant 30-12 win over the Warriors.
Lomax, who’s move to Parramatta next season was confirmed earlier in the week, did his Blues Origin hopes no harm with a personal haul of 14 points, which included a try and a rare two-point field goal.
In game 100, Lomax nailed the field goal from 45m on the stroke of half time, and then set WIN Stadium alight early in the second half when he chased down a Hunt bomb and leapt over Warriors winger Marcelo Montoya to reel it in and score.

“Zac Lomax and the Dragons are putting on a clinic,” Cooper Cronk said on Fox League.

Earlier, Hunt set up a try and scored one as the Dragons put on five straight tries to answer the Warriors’ opening four-pointer.
The Dragons were coasting at 30-6, before a late try to Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak made the scoreline a little more respectable for the visitors.
Andrew Webster’s men crossed for the first points of the night in the 12th minute through Shaun Johnson.
Johnson scored untouched as the Warriors targeted the Dragons’ right side and early, it looked ominous for St. George.
The Warriors had numerous other chances on the Dragons line in the first half but the Dragons held tough and it changed the game, with the Red V building momentum in attack from their stout defence.
The Dragons scored three quick tries in the first half before Lomax’s two-point field goal gave the home side a 18-6 lead at the break.
Lomax’s try made it 22-6, but it was speedy fullback Tyrell Sloan, who was called out by his coach Shane Flanagan two weeks ago after a loss to the Knights, who scored the game-sealer.
Sloan ran 90 metres for his four-pointer after Hunt scooped up a loose ball near the Dragons’ own end and passed it off to his fullback.
