Veteran Aaron Woods has put his younger St George Illawarra teammates on notice, urging them to lift their game in 2023 or risk another season without playing in the NRL finals.The Dragons boast some of the most exciting young playmakers in the competition, with Jayden Sullivan, Tyrell Sloan and Junior Amone all tipped as genuine superstars of the future. "We've got some really good young players that have been good for the last couple of years but they're first-graders now," "We can't just say that they've got ability. They've got to come out and do it. "They have to own that jersey. For us, we want them to dominate games and dominate for long periods, not just show us glimpses of what they've got. "We want them to come out and dictate games." "We had a bit of a push and shove last week and it just shows that it means a lot to the boys," Woods said. "They're competing really hard every day and that's what we want." "As a group we've had a pretty tough pre-season. We had a good week down at Bawley Point and we got to bond a bit and get to know about our players. "That extra bit of bonding does help." "We've all got a clear focus at the moment and we're all very united. It's one team, one dream," he said.
