The Dragons triumphed over the Knights with a score of 20-6 at Jubilee Stadium, achieving their second consecutive victory.
This win allowed them to reclaim the Alex McKinnon Cup for the first time since 2022.
Notably, Rugby Sevens convert Nathan Lawson made his debut as St George Illawarra Dragon #288 after Christian Tuipulotu was sidelined just a day before the match.
The highlight of the evening was Loko Pasifiki Tonga, who scored his first NRL try just before halftime, igniting excitement among the fans.
Unfortunately, the Dragons faced a setback when Jaydn Su'A injured his ankle early in the game, which required other forwards to extend their playing time more than expected.
The Dragons' performance was bolstered by the effective play of Damien Cook, whose clever dummy-half run set the stage for the team's next points.
