Life after Sonny Bill Williams got off to the worst possible start for the Canterbury Bulldogs, who were thrashed 30-0 last night in Sydney by St George Illawarra.
The Dragons ran in six tries, including a first half hat-trick to winger Josh Morris, against a hapless Bulldogs side still in shock just two days after Williams's dramatic mid-season walkout to play French rugby.
Aside from Williams's departure, the Bulldogs are battling a lengthy injury list, and are fighting to avoid the wooden spoon.
