In an electrifying match, Clint Gutherson showcased his skills by breaching the Eels’ flimsy defence, enabling the Dragons to take an early lead. His try was followed by Valentine Holmes, who further widened the gap with both a conversion and a penalty goal, placing the visitors firmly in control.
However, the momentum quickly shifted when Eels star Josh Addo-Carr responded decisively, scoring a try of his own on the left wing just eight minutes after Gutherson’s breakthrough. Elated by his success, Addo-Carr celebrated passionately, highlighting his determination and enthusiasm. At the 27-minute mark, with Zac Lomax’s successful conversion, the score stood at 8-8, making for an exciting contest as both teams battled for supremacy.
