“Gutted” St George Illawarra Coach Paul McGregor can’t believe his Dragons gave up 26 points against a team that McGregor insisted couldn’t score points.

Canterbury beat the Dragons 26-20 on Sunday meaning the Saints would miss the Finals.

“Gutted. Absolutely shattered,” McGregor said.

“It shouldn’t have come down to today but it did. We let a team that couldn’t score points score 26 on us. That wasn’t good enough.

“I thought we found energy at times during the game but we looked a bit flat. Penrith looked a bit flat last night.

“Maybe last week took a bit of energy out of both sides. But there are no excuses. We’re all gutted in the sheds.”

It was a bittersweet afternoon for outgoing Bulldogs great Josh Reynolds who finished the match on the sidelines through injury but did manage to score a try in his final game for the Dogs.
