Dragons Hit Rock Bottom; Tigers Tempt The Footy Gods | NRL Round 8 Review | Footy IQ

The Dragons changed the coach, but the result stayed the same. In the latest episode of Footy IQ, we take a look at where it all went wrong for St George Illawarra in their 46-point Anzac Day loss to the Roosters, which featured a baptism of fire for young halfback Kade Reed.

We also cover the Storm’s sixth straight loss, Jarome Luai’s fact-finding mission to PNG, Kalyn Ponga’s contract extension with Newcastle and more.
