A hat‑trick from try-scoring machine Semi Radradra has inspired the Parramatta Eels to a 16‑12 win over St George Illawarra Dragons last night.

It was the fourth straight game in which Radradra has scored two or more tries and the Fijian has now scored 14 tries in nine games so far this season.

Radradra's third try of the night looked to have sealed back‑to‑back wins for the Eels.

Fijian born Eto Nabuli also scored for the Dragons but it was not enough.

In other NRL matches the North Queensland Cowboys lost 18-24 to the Cronulla Sharks while the Warriors thrashed the Raiders 30-8.

Today at 6pm the Wests Tigers play the Panthers.
