The St George Illawarra Dragons narrowly miss another win as they push the Brisbane Dolphins to the final minute but lose again in Wollongong. Multiple outlets report the match remains tightly contested throughout, with the Dragons extending the game despite ongoing difficulty converting their efforts into victory. Coverage describes the Dragons as “pushed” or “pushed all the way” by the Dolphins, indicating the Dolphins manage to secure the result only late in the contest. All three sources frame the loss in similar terms, emphasizing that the Dragons stay competitive until the end rather than falling away earlier in the game. The common detail across reports is the venue—Wollongong—and that the outcome is decided in the closing stages. While the specific scoring breakdown and key turning points are not provided in the supplied excerpts, the shared narrative is consistent: the Dragons come close, keep pressure on until the end, but finish beaten for another time.
