St George Illawarra have overcome prop Francis Molo’s dismissal to defeat Gold Coast 46-26 and leave the Titans in a battle to avoid the NRL wooden spoon.
On a bizarre Sunday afternoon in Wollongong, Molo was sent off for a high shot on Greg Marzhew with 17 minutes remaining as the Titans were mounting a late charge.
But somehow, Saints managed to score three unanswered tries with Molo off the field and they seemingly played better football a man short than with their full complement.
It came in a 13-try shootout that befitted not only the point-scoring blitz that has been round 23 but a match between two teams with little to play for towards the end of the 2022 regular season.
Winger Tautau Moga claimed the first hat-trick of his career, while Talatau Amone was the Dragons’ best with a double while also laying on another try.
Ben Hunt also had a role to play in two tries, putting on a superb cut-out pass for Jack Bird early in the second half while also handing one back to the Titans with a short dropout.
Bird also also set up two tries, playing across four positions as the Saints’ lost players at will during the match.
Notably, hooker Andrew McCullough suffered a medial ligament injury as questions continue around his future with a year still to run on his contract.
McCullough indicated on Saturday that he wanted to play on into the final year of his contract, just a week after coach Anthony Griffin said it would be addressed at the end of the season.
Moses Mbye also suffered a hamstring injury, while fullback Cody Ramsey also spent time off the field for a concussion check.
