The Dragons faced a tough loss against the Roosters, ending with a score of 48-28 in their Knock-On Effect NSW Cup match at Collegians Sporting Complex on Sunday.
This game was notable for Dylan Egan, who made his comeback after a nearly year-long recovery from a torn ACL.
The Gerringong native shined in the first half, scoring two tries and giving his team a four-point lead.
However, Egan spent the second half watching as the Roosters dominated the game against a younger Dragons team.
The Roosters quickly took charge again, with Blake Steep scoring after a well-timed inside pass.
Before halftime, Tyler Peckham-Harris assisted Egan in securing another try, allowing him to score untouched.
After the break, the Red V energized their fans, with Toby Rumble scoring off a well-placed grubber for a double-digit lead.
The Roosters quickly retaliated, with Kanaan Magele crossing the line to restore their advantage.
