Second player sent to the bin for the Dragons as Toia adds to Roosters tally

Here we go.

I was prepared to write something like…The Dragons have emerged with a new-found energy blah blah blah.

Instead, I have to write that the Dragons have handed the ball over in the first set of the half, AND, the Roosters score as a result.

The only saving grace is that the try for Robert Toia (oh yeah, that was who scored) has been taken away for an obstruction.

It doesn’t, however, erase the fact that the Dragons have started this half in the worst possible way.

Roosters 34, Dragons 4 with 39 minutes to go
