Shane Flanagan has branded his St George Illawarra side "awful" after his return to Shark Park ended in a 20-10 defeat that kept Cronulla on top of the NRL ladder.
Coaching against Cronulla for the first time since being ousted from the club in 2018, Flanagan returned to PointsBet Stadium on Sunday desperately hoping his Dragons side could find some of the grit that made his premiership-winning Sharks outfit so feared and revered.
