Dragons carnage as THREE players are rubbed out with head injuries in 30 minutes of chaos
The Warriors are breathing easier after regaining their place in the NRL 's top four with a thrilling 14-10 comeback victory over a luckless and brave St George Illawarra outfit in Auckland. Andrew Webster's men recovered from a 10-point first-half deficit to snap an alarming three-game losing streak after the Dragons lost three forwards before the break in freakish scenes at Go Media Stadium. The Dragons activated 18th man Tyrell Sloan after back-rowers Hamish Stewart and Jack De Belin were injured. Both suffered category-one concussions from a head clash while tackling Warriors enforcer James Fisher-Harris. Then interchange forward Hame Sele also failed a HIA following a 29th-minute head knock. Despite the setbacks, the Dragons enjoyed a 10-0 lead following an early try-scoring double from powerhouse centre Mathew Feagai. Watch all the highlights as the Warriors take on the Dragons in Round 24! 🎥 — NRL (@NRL) August 15, 2025 A four-pointer six minutes before the break to Chanel Harris-Tavita, after a skilful sideline offload from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, put the Warriors back in the contest. St George Illawarra overcame their reduced one-forward rotation to hold the Warriors at bay for much of the second half before the home team finally drew level at 10-10 with a 62nd-minute try to centre Adam Pompey. Pompey's second soon after, when the Dragons' short-side defence fell for a clever dummy-half dummy from Taine Tuaupiki, gave the Warriors the lead for the first time with six minutes remaining. 'Far from perfect. That's pretty clear,' said coach Webster. 'But an amazing amount of effort and scramble and working hard for each other and finding a way. 'When you're not playing the best football, I don't think your first win (after a losing streak) is going to be a 20-point victory. It's going to be a win. 'That's what we come up with tonight.' Friday night's victory vaulted the Warriors above Penrith into fourth spot on the ladder after the New Zealanders' season threatened to unravel. The injury-hit Warriors could have slumped to as low as seventh by the end of the round. Instead, they extinguished the Dragons' slim finals hopes. St George Illawarra, though, were still claiming a moral victory. 'We spoke at halftime about it could be one of the greatest wins if we can steal it,' skipper Damien Cook said. 'But even not getting the result is still a massive win for us as a club and the team. 'Just the resilience and character that we showed for each other, it's a massive, massive step in a good direction for us. 'We still had a great result. We lost some players early but we rallied together and, while we didn't get the result tonight, we're not going to let the result take away from a massive achievement that we had.' Coming off back-to-back wins over finals-bound Cronulla and Canberra, the Dragons had the chance to steal the match at the death and claim another major scalp but weren't able to cash in on a Sloan line break.

See the bizarre moment NRL coach lashes out at reporters with a stunning act footy has NEVER witnessed before
Under-pressure Warriors coach Andrew Webster has taken the extraordinary step of using a referee's whistle to combat so-called 'crap' questions at his weekly press conference. As the fifth-placed Warriors look to get their NRL season back on track, a cheeky Webster told reporters in Auckland they would be 'put in the (sin) bin' if they erred in their lines of inquiry. Webster made good on his promise when prodded about his halves combination, an area of vulnerability since the side lost talisman Luke Metcalf to a season-ending knee injury. Te Maire Martin is missing this week's clash with St George Illawarra after suffering a concussion against Canterbury, his first game replacing Tanah Boyd at halfback. After this week, the choice between Boyd and Martin could be season-defining for the Warriors, who are on a three-game losing streak and still not locked in for finals. Asked how he saw the halves conundrum playing out once Martin was available, Webster blew the whistle. 'If I have a crap response, you can whistle me too, but I'm not going to pick next week's team (now),' Webster bluntly said. The Warriors confirmed on Wednesday Martin had signed a one-year deal that would keep him at the club next season. Webster is feeling the pressure, with his team losing five of their past seven NRL matches to tumble down the ladder with the finals looming Webster blew the whistle again when quizzed whether the club had previously told 29-year-old Martin they would need to 'prioritise younger players for next season.' 'I've certainly never told Te Maire that I didn't want him, and that's the truth, not through him, not through his agent,' Webster said. 'I've never said to Te Maire that I want the youth over you. Never. That's why the whistle went there because that's so far from the truth.' Martin has impressed Webster across 13 games this season, most of which have come as the Warriors' bench utility. But the coach conceded he'd left the Warriors vulnerable by dropping Boyd and promoting Martin last week, given the move left the side without their Mr Fix-It. 'I thought Te Maire forced his way into the team, I thought he'd played really good football,' Webster said. 'But at the same time I got it wrong, didn't I? Because next minute Te Maire got injured and we've only got one half. That's just life.' Speculation Jett Cleary, brother of NRL superstar Nathan, could make his first-grade debut in the halves didn't eventuate, with Boyd named to return from a week in the wilderness. Webster said he'd never lost faith in the former Gold Coast Titans star, who had worn Metcalf's No.7 jersey for four weeks. '(Boyd) had things he had to go back to (NSW) Cup and work on, but it wasn't a case of you've been crap, I'm dropping you,' he said.
