St George Illawarra have proved once and for all they are the real deal in 2018, downing Melbourne 34-14 on Sunday.
More than 19,000 fans packed into Jubilee Oval, Kogarah to see the Dragons dominate the Storm as they ran in four tries to three.
Dragons captain Gareth Widdop was outstanding as St George Illawarra’s forwards laid the foundation for the victory with another brutal performance.
The Dragons have now won 13 of their last 15 matches at Kogarah as they continue to turn Jubilee Oval into a fortress.
St George Illawarra remain top of the table after nine rounds. They host Canberra in Mudgee next Sunday.
