Good night!
Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of Saturday's Magic Round action.
We'll be back tomorrow for more of the same!
Tigers hold on
Amid the drama of a grandstand finish, the Dragons knocked on and then challenged it.
But it was unsuccessful and finally it's full-time.
Tigers finish 34-28 winners.
The Dragons are alive!
The tired defence of the Tigers has been exposed!
Hamish Stewart had the ball 10 metres out and simply took one look at the line, beat Fonua Pole and scored.
Tigers lead is 34-28. A grandstand finish is ahead with two minutes left.
Too easy for AD
Adam Doueihi take a bow!
The centre put in a little grubber with not much space.
And then no one wanted to take the ball with Clint Gutherson knocking into Charlie Staines.
"Someone had to pick it up," Kevin Walters said on Fox.
Then Doueihi said thanks very much and picked the ball up to score.
Tigers lead 34-22.
Blow for Dragons
Fox League has confirmed Emre Guler could have a dislocated shoulder after he landed awkwardly in a tackle from Adam Doueihi.
Tigers extend the lead
A penalty to the Tigers almost right in front.
They decide to take the two and Adam Doueihi obliges and the lead is now six points.
The Bula party is denied
Jahream Bula's magic night looked like it would get better.
He beat Clint Gutherson in the air after a big kick.
But evidently, Corey Allan held him up over the line and it's no try.
THE SAINTS ARE MARCHING
Within minutes, Jacob Liddle has a double and the Dragons are right in this match.
The attack came at halfway with a spread down the left.
King-Togia found himself with space and pushed ahead before passing to Liddle who scored.
Game on!
Dragons back into it
And it's a soft way for St George Illawarra to put themselves back in the match.
Jacob Liddle simply burrowed over close to the line and scored.
Val Holmes converts and it's 26-16.
