Dragons' hopeful finals chances crushed, Raiders secure top eight with dramatic comeback victory over Dragons.
The Dragons' hopes for a spot in the finals were looking promising just a fortnight ago, but they have now suffered a devastating blow that has left youngster Zac Lomax in tears.
The Canberra Raiders, on the other hand, have managed to secure a spot in the top eight - at least for now - after pulling off a remarkable 26-24 comeback victory over the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This defeat for the Dragons marks the end of a season filled with missed opportunities, as they finished off with two consecutive losses in games that they should have won.
With just two rounds remaining, all they needed was to defeat the struggling Parramatta Eels and the Raiders, who were barely holding on to their spot in the top eight.
