St George Illawarra’s season lurches to disaster after 40-4 loss to Parramatta

Michael Carayannis, The Daily Telegraph - an hour ago.

THE GREAT St George Illawarra slide is well and truly on again after the one-time premiership favourites were embarrassed 40-4 by the last placed Parramatta Eels.

The result capped a horrid night for the Dragons who not only fell out of the top four for the first time this season but may have to play on without Gareth Widdop for the rest of the season after the skipper dislocated his shoulder in the first half in front of 10,541 at ANZ Stadium.

Eels celebrate - Dragons don't.

“I got it back in, so we’ll wait till tomorrow and see what comes of it,’’ Widdop said.

The Dragons will also be without Paul Vaughan (ankle) for at least a month while winger Jason Nightingale (neck) is also unlikely to be fit to play the Tigers on Saturday.

St George Illawarra have now slumped to five losses from their past six games in what was their biggest loss of the season prompting coach Paul McGregor to declare his side let in “soft” tries.

“That score line is very ugly,” McGregor said. “We have a few players who are down on confidence which can happen. We have to make sure we manage that.
