Warriors coach livid after gifting Dragons victory

6:30 am on 4 May 2009

The Warriors' coach Ivan Cleary accused some of his players of being elsewhere yesterday as they gifted the Dragons a 12-11 victory testerday in W9llongong.

Cleary's responses at the after match press conference were barely audible as he claimed that some of his players were guilty of thinking ahead to this Friday's Anzac test against Australia.

Stacey Jones had a chance to send the game into extra time in the final few seconds, but he dropped a head high pass as he set himself for a field goal.

The Warriors have slipped another place to 10th on the NRL table, five points behind the four leading teams.
