Sorry Dragons fans, you knew what this one was going to be. The Red V started the 2018 Telstra Premiership like a runaway freight train, winning their first six games on the bounce and seven of their first nine to sit pretty in top or equal spot every round from one until round 17.But Paul McGregor's men won just three of their last nine to slip to seventh and despite a
commanding win in week one of the finals they had left themselves too big a task and were eliminated the next weekend.It's a familiar story for the Dragons faithful, one that has not only been a hallmark of McGregor's tenure but pre-dates it, with the club finishing every season since their 2010 premiership anywhere from slightly to dramatically lower on the ladder than their mid-season peak.
