Full-time: Dragons seal shock 14-8 win over Storm
What a game.
The Dragons have dug deep to seal a thrilling 14-8 win over the competition’s premiership favourites.
Jacob Liddle’s 67th minute try was ultimately the match-winner as Craig Bellamy’s men failed to make the most of their possession and field position.
This is just the second time the Dragons have recorded back-to-back wins over the Storm. They also won their last outing against the boys from Melbourne (18-16 in August last year).
Who saw that coming? Yet another upset. Great for the game.
