The Tigers led 18-4 and then 24-10 at Nixon Park on Sunday, but struggled to shake the determined Dragons.

When Kris Rands crashed over to get Temora with two points of the premiers in the dying stages, however their last rally ended with a mistake.

Gundagai co-coach Luke Berkrey was just pleased to bank another two points after being far from impressed with the 24-22 victory.

"We have to address some of the problems that are going on but we'll take the two points and go back to training on Tuesday," Berkrey said.

"Our discipline in the first half was horrendous.

"We are just compiling error on error and everything has just been a bit of an avalanche at the moment.

"We're having good periods but we are just having periods where we are switching off.

"It's not great but we got the two points, which is what we went there for. It was the result we wanted, just not in the fashion we wanted it."

Despite plenty not thrilling Berkrey, the Tigers built a solid lead with Jack Elphick crossing for a double.

However it all nearly unravelled late for the premiers.

Dane O'Hehir, Troy Barby and Chris Rose all failed to play out the game however Berkrey is confident there won't be any lasting effects ahead of the club's centenary celebrations on Saturday.

However discipline is one thing he wants to see a much improved performance.

"We just continued to let him out of their own end with ill-discipline," Berkrey said.

"There were high shots, late shots, shoulder charges and we were trying to be too aggressive at times whereas the week before we were really disciplined. There's just such inconsistency."
