Fragile right-edge defenceThe Warriors have defensive issues across the board but their brittle right-edge has been ruthlessly exposed in their last two defeats. The Dragons three first-half tries came all too easily with bad defensive reads and poor communication leaving the Warriors caught short down the right flank. With only four wins from 11 starts the Warriors have slipped down another spot to occupy 13th place on the premiership ladder. Things rapidly deteriorated in the second quarter - the Dragons scored three tries and could have had at least one more - as the Warriors shoulders started to slump. It's galling to watch, as Vaughan was a free agent last year but not pursued by the Warriors.
