St George Illawarra captain Ben Hunt believes fatigue is responsible for the spate of high shots that has seen seven judiciary charges against the Dragons in two weeks.
On top of the judiciary woes, the Dragons also had three players ruled out with HIAs during Friday night’s 13-12 loss to Cronulla.
Josh Kerr is set to join suspended trio Josh McGuire, Tyrell Faimaono and Mikaele Ravalawa on the sideline for next Friday night’s clash with Wests Tigers after being charged over a shoulder charge on Sharks prop Aiden Tolman, while Paul Vaughan faces a fine for a high tackle.
Chad Townsend kicked a golden-point field goal to help Cronulla to a 13-12 win over St George Illawarra, but it was Mawene Hiroti who went from villain to hero.

Already without the suspended quartet of Mikaele Ravalawa, Tariq Sims, Tyrell Fuimaono and Josh McGuire, the Red V are facing a crisis after Ramsey, Jaiyden Hunt and Max Feagai all failed their HIAs.
“There’s no one that’s in any real trouble. They’re all alert,” Dragons coach Anthony Griffin said after the game.
