Everyone probably got to see what the new Dragons looked like and got a good look at what the old Dragons looked like. It was a game of two halves,\u201d Young said post-match.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t hold onto the ball. We started the second half with a play-the-ball error, which is not good enough. <\/p>\n \u201cThen we defended our line for three sets, held them out for about 16 tackles and then the next set we tried to offload the ball and come up with another error. <\/p>\n \u201cThat was really disappointing because the boys worked really, really hard to turn the Sharks away. <\/p>\n \u201cThey were a good attacking side and then the next time we get the ball we looked at forcing the offload. <\/p>\n \u201cWe completed 11 from 19 sets for the second half, and they\u2019re at 21 from 23. There\u2019s the game.\u201d<\/p>\n To make matters worse for the Dragons, they are likely to be without former Queensland Maroons back-rower Jaydn Su\u2019A for a significant period of time.<\/p>\n And there are fears that he could be ruled out for the remainder of the season, which would bring his career at the Red V to a close, as he will join the Parramatta Eels next year.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s good. I just spoke to him then, and he thinks he might\u2019ve torn it, so it\u2019s not ideal,\u201d Young said when asked about an injury update on the forward.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll get scans in the next couple of days and get more info about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Interim Dragons coach Dean Young was left unimpressed with his side\u2019s performance after they conceded five tries after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-720815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
