The Dragons ultimately went on to defeat the Super League heavyweights 24-18 but McGregor said he was left concerned by his side’s sluggish start.
As he hones in on his final 17 for round one, McGregor sad he’ll be looking for a mental shift this weekend.
“We made seven line breaks, we scored five tries to three but defensively we need to be better,” McGregor said.
“We’ve got to have a better attitude more than anything. I thought we got through the game last week. I spoke to the boys and they all agreed we need to go to the game this week and make it more about us.
“I thought last week was an exhibition match played in good spirit, but we certainly didn’t bring he aggressive attitude that we needed to play rugby league.”
