With their maligned player, and field goal specialist, having been let walk only weeks ago, St George Illawarra last night earned a Golden Point upset over South Sydney the hard way.

After failing with three shots at field via Josh Dugan, Nathan Fien and Chase Stanley, the Dragons eventually sealed the win three minutes into extra time with a try to NSW Origin winger Brett Morris.

On a night where the Dragons scored two converted tries in the final 10 minutes to draw level and a couple of giant question marks were thrown over the immediate futures of NRL favourites Matt Cooper and Roy Asotasi the Glory, Glory juggernaut was finally brought to a halt.

Re-live all the action from Monday Night Football with Match Centre!
Playing without star fullback Greg Inglis, who is set to miss anywhere from a fortnight to eight weeks with that bung knee, Souths led 18-6 with 16 minutes to go but were caught within seven minutes of full time.
From there, halfback Adam Reynolds missed three field goal shots before fulltime while, for the Dragons, Dugan, Fien and Stanley all sprayed attempts to seal the win with a point.
The win was, however, soured with the immediate playing future of Cooper, off contract at the end of the year, in doubt after the ageing centre left the field early in the second half with a suspected torn pectoral.
For the Rabbitohs, Asotasi was placed on report for an alleged 'cannonball' tackle against rival prop Jack De Belin a dozen minutes into the second half.
The other big talking point on a night the Bunnies winning streak was brought crashing down was the continued rise and rise of NSW Origin fullback Dugan after that infamous night on the, er, tiles.
Looking more dangerous than a bearded tennis dad, Dugan ran for well over 150 metres, threatened with every touch and generally set the scene for an enthralling clash with the club he walked out on, Canberra, just four days from now.
It was also his pass, while being dumped onto his back midway through the second half, that not only ensured the Dragons first in 154 points but kicked off one of the gutsiest fightbacks of the 2013 season.
Offloading the ball to winger Jason Nightingale, the ball that went the width of the field, with the pick 'n' swinger handling twice before Brett Morris scored in the corner.
His efforts meant that while the Dragons made a series of crucial clangers in attack, and lost veteran Cooper only 11 minutes into the second half, they levelled the scores with under six minutes to play.
For the first 40 minutes, however, this was a contest were it seemed the only thing missing was a few buxom lasses and that soundtrack from The Benny Hill Show.
For the Dragons, Nathan Fien failed to find touch from a penalty, Ben Creagh knocked on near the stripe and centre Chase Stanley, attempting to take a 50m drop out, somehow fumbled said Steeden over the right sideline.
All up the Red V made eight errors in the first half, and yet by the break they still trailed by only six points.
Much of that, of course, had to do with the fact Souths also made eight blues. The rest you could put down to Dugan.
Truly, by oranges this resurrected rugby league rogue had already run for more than 100 metres and basically done everything but shut down the Rabbitohs sole try.
And that one came after 23 minutes when, following a perfect long ball from halfback Adam Reynolds and beautiful hit 'n' spin from Ben Te'o, winger Nathan Merritt bobbed up to grab said pass and find Dylan Walker.
Still with work to do, Walker then went on a little jinking run to the tryline. Reynolds converted for what would be the only points of a scrappy 40 minutes.
