Dragons coach Paul McGregor implied the Warriors' approach may have been a cynical ploy to break any flow or momentum the visitors built.
"They came here with a plan, they gave away a lot of penalties and defended their line really well ... whether that was part of it ornot I'm not sure," said McGregor.
Warriors coach Stephen Kearney denied it had been a deliberate tactic.
"For the last six weeks, they've had a good run with how they've gone about things. They're the best attacking team in the competition and have a spine that's playing really well," Kearney said.
"We had to put pressure on them and that was through a bit of line speed and really going after them. But it wasn't our intention to deliberately give penalties away," said Kearney.
