Griffin's Dragons' huge response as Bennett's Dolphins face halves 'disaster' — Big Hits.

Hunt finished the night with five tackle breaks, a try, a line break, a line break assist and a try assist in the Red V’s seven-try performance. “Ben Hunt, the Dragons captain coming off with a big play, 33-years-of-age, this is his 294th NRL game, he is in his 15th season,” Fox League’s James Hooper said. Hunt was clearly furious with his team after last week’s loss to the Sharks, putting his team on his shoulders to lead from the front against Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins. The Red V conceded 60 second half points across the two games and had a point to prove with Anthony Griffin’s future at the club in doubt after he was informed he had to reapply for his job. The Red V then went on to pile on the points, recording five tries in the final 40 minutes in a huge response. A Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow error handed the Dragons a Zac Lomax try and Griffin’s side capitalised from there, with Ben Hunt darting over the tryline. Tabuai-Fidow attempted to get his side back into the contest, calling his team back after scoring from a Isaako break. But their joy would end their, with halfback Anthony Milford leaving the field with a hamstring injury in a huge blow to the 17th team. To start the second half, Zac Lomax scored after a horror Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow error as the ball landed in his lap. Anthony Griffin’s side were flogged by both the Broncos and Sharks in the club’s last two outings and had a point to prove with pressure on the maligned coach.

Hunt runs hot as Dragons prove too good for Dolphins (NRL.COM)

The Dragons have bounced back from consecutive thrashings to outclass the Dolphins 38-12 at WIN Stadium on Saturday.

The Dragons travel to the Gold Coast in Round 6 for a Sunday afternoon clash with the Titans. We've been up for a month and we've kind of played in two semi-grand finals to be candid and they have handled it great but today we didn't play with that energy we've been playing with." Leaves me looking to the sky and saying a few prayers [with O'Sullivan and Milford both out]. After taking 91 games to cross for his first NRL try Dragons big man Blake Lawrie has exploded out of the blocks in 2023 with two in five games. I thought Junior [Amone] really added something to us tonight and he and Ben combined well for their first game together for the year." Just a minute later Isaako made amends when he dived into the corner after some nice hands by halves Anthony Milford and Isaiya Katoa.

Hunt fires up Dragons to hand Dolphins a reality check (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Ben Hunt had a hand in everything the Dragons did right as they bounced back from last week's capitulation to Cronulla with a big win over the Dolphins.

The honeymoon for the Dolphins is well and truly over. Hunt has made no secret of his admiration for Griffin, who basically needs wins to keep his name in the mix for the top job beyond this season. Amone, 20, was playing his first game for the year since he was charged over an alleged hammer attack on a roofing contractor last November. we’ve kind of played in two semi-grand finals to be candid with you, but they’ve handled it great. Hunt generally looked at ease, having five-eighth Talatau Amone back alongside him in the halves. Last week we were way off, but to their credit they bounced back well.
