St George Illawarra NRLW coach Jamie Soward implored the NRL to scrap five-day turnarounds after his side were thumped 34-6 by the Sydney Roosters.
Soward's Dragons were involved in a bruising win over Parramatta last Sunday and the fatigue told as the Roosters clocked up five second-half tries.
Roosters halfback Raecene McGregor was the star of the show, setting up four of her side's six tries at the opening of the newly built Sydney Football Stadium.
