'Dragons captain Ben Hunt has come under fire for his questionable behavior in the midst of an outstanding display on the field, with critics labeling it as 'p**s poor sportsmanship'.
In a dominant showing, St George Illawarra Dragons decimated the Wests Tigers 56-14 in a ruthless showdown at WIN Stadium in Wollongong.
Despite the Tigers holding a 14-12 lead at halftime, the Dragons completely took control in the second half, scoring seven consecutive points.
The highlight of the game came from NSW Origin representative Zac Lomax, who achieved a personal milestone of 32 points.
With a 26-14 lead and 23 minutes left on the clock, Hunt showcased his skills with a dazzling Origin-like move, leaving three Tigers players in his wake as he scored a brilliant try.
His performance also included four assists for tries, a line break, and a key play leading to another line break.
Though Hunt's individual brilliance shone through, his outburst towards Tigers player Samuela Fainu tarnished his performance in the eyes of many.
It was a moment of poor sportsmanship that threatened to overshadow his stellar game.'
