I've only seen the highlights but I can't blame Riley for the Menzies try. Menzies was coming on at such pace, onto a kick which was perfectly into space that it's not Riley's fault that he couldn't turn and out sprint Menzies. Immediately before the kick, Ninj is drifting in defence so he has to turn, change his angle of run and chase the kick against a man who's sprinting directly onto the end of the kick. Not that Ninj isn't suspect to kicks in behind, but that one instance was more quality play from the Dragons than anything else.
From the highlights you wouldn't know it was raining - until you see the players hair and they all look like drowned rats.
