The Dragons halves tested the Warriors back three early with a pair of attacking kicks which went close to producing results. Instead, it was the Warriors who nabbed the first points of the evening through Luke Metcalf who split a pair of defenders to slam the ball down to the right of the sticks and make it 6-0. Back-to-back penalties handed the Warriors a gift two points to extend their lead beyond a converted try 12 minutes into proceedings.

The first points of the afternoon belonged to Cronulla who set up camp in the hosts’ end early and were eventually rewarded with Lajuan Vito steaming through a hole down the right-hand corridor to dive over and make it 6-0. The visitors marched down the field to make it two tries in as many sets with an attacking kick falling fortuitously into the arms of Dylan Coutts who handed it off to his captain Samuel McCulloch to score.

Pretty soon, Loko Pasifiki Tonga will take the field for his NRL debut. He’s hard to miss. He stands at six-foot-five and tips the scales at 121 kilos. Most of the time, his teenage face dons an ear-to-ear smile. That smile was perhaps a touch wider on Tuesday morning when Head Coach Shane Flanagan told the team that he’d be debuting on Saturday evening. Dragons fans, particularly those with a keen eye on the club’s pathways systems, have likely been introduced to Loko.

It took less than 10 minutes for the Dragons to draw first blood with Ben Rumble on the end of a textbook, fifth-tackle shift out to the right to make it 4-0. Vaka Aho limped off for the Magpies in the aftermath of the try as their middle depth copped an early blow. The Dragons stormed right back downfield their next set to go bang-bang with Sione Finau pouncing on a Jonah Glover bomb which had been knocked back and toed through by Hayden Buchanan.

One of my favourite pieces I’ve put together. The best thing about Loko is how contagious his energy is. I hope the Wollongong crowd makes him feel welcome this afternoon. Go well, big boy. https://t.co/5BKI3bKx40
