Dragons coach Shane Flanagan upset over forward pass decision denying Tyrell Sloan a hat-trick.

Fox League

Dragons coach Shane Flanagan was left fuming at a controversial forward pass call that denied Tyrell Sloan a hat-trick and ultimately proved the difference in
his side's 28-24 loss to the Raiders.

"I'm not going to talk about the list of injuries or the players who we have got out, I'm talking about the players that were out there," Flanagan said.

Sloan scored a classy double, but he was denied the first try of the game for a forward pass from Moses Suli that, at worst, looked flat and, at best, was well backwards.

Flanagan believes his side should have won the game and would have won if Sloan's first try had stood.

Canberra are eyeing a first minor premiership in 35 years after hat-trick hero Kaeo Weekes inspired a 28-24 defeat of gallant St George Illawarra at GIO Stadium.

The Dragons, missing 11 players to injury, never let their hosts breathe easily on Saturday night but fullback Weekes' first two tries either side of the break gave the Raiders the buffer they needed.

With their seventh consecutive win, Canberra move two competition points clear atop the NRL ladder and enjoy a favourable run to finals.
