Beware the frustrated Dragon!<\/p>\n

That's the message from St George Illawarra<\/a> centre Moses Suli<\/a> as his team prepares to become the first team in 17 years to take the field after a first round bye.<\/p>\n

The Dragons drew the short straw when the NRL<\/a> announced the 2023 draw that included the new Dolphins, resulting in a bye every round.<\/p>\n

And Dragons players are breathing fire after preparing all summer only to sit out weekend one.<\/p>\n

Even then, the Dragons have to wait until the last match of this round – on Sunday night – to finally do some hitting against the Titans at Kogarah.<\/p>\n

\"WOLLONGONG,<\/p>\n

"Last weekend was one of the hardest weekends of my career and I know a lot of the other boys felt the same," centre Moses Suli told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"You work your butt off all summer, dying to get out there and you end up watching every other team play while we did nothing.<\/p>\n

"It was hard to watch I can tell you.<\/p>\n

"It's just the luck of the draw and we have to cop it – but the boys are all pumped up now and I think you will really see us come out breathing fire on Sunday."<\/p>\n

Suli has taken one for the team this season, swapping sides with strike weapon Zac Lomax.<\/p>\n

\"Zac<\/p>\n

Lomax had an indifferent season on the right edge last season and committed more errors than any player in the NRL.<\/p>\n

So coach Anthony Griffin has switched the pair hoping they will both benefit.<\/p>\n

"I've actually played more on the right edge than the left over my career so it doesn't worry me," the strong-running centre said.<\/p>\n

"Anything to help the team and when they came up with the idea I was all for it.<\/p>\n

"I've had a good summer and can't wait to actually get going."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
