Watch: Proud Stephen Kearney rates Warriors' win over Dragons as a career-best - 'It ranks up there, way up there!'

April 21, 2018

Warriors coach Stephen Kearney has labelled last night's 20-12 win over the Dragons as one of the best of his career to date.

The Warriors overcame the previously-unbeaten St George Illawarra outfit at Mt Smart Stadium last night with another strong defensive display and brilliant offence despite the absence of stars Shaun Johnson and Solomone Kata.

"Not only here (at the Warriors), but this is right up there in terms of the situation that was facing the lads tonight," Kearney said.

"With the changes, 10 minutes in the bin and being up against the best side in the comp at the minute.

Kearney was addressing the fact the Warriors were also thrown the extra hurdle of losing veteran playmaker Blake Green to the sin bin to start the second half.

"But to the boys' credit and with what they showed in the first five weeks and again tonight, they showed a tremendous amount of courage against a top of the table side.

"The team with the best attack in the competition, they found a way to keep them out.

"I was just so very proud of how they went about their work."
