How bad is Nighty's shoulder?
Could this be a Ben Creagh farewell scenario?
Nighty is listed in the run on team as a farewell gesture knowing that he won't play but retire after the game due to injury (and age).
If so, farewell Nighty and thanks for the memories....in particular the 2012 Anzac game.

The Tigers have struggled to score points all year and there isn't much to suggest that is going to change seeing they are still working on combinations(Mbye coming in, Reynolds injury etc.). We have so much to play for and this is he sort of game that can be a springboard to getting back to the form we displayed in the first 8-10 rounds. I'm hoping the sting of a poor defensive effort against Melbourne is the motivator to come out firing.

We need to stand up and put a big score on them. We need to come home strong leading up to the finals.

Heard Maloney say something this morning bout origin but it applies weekly also.
He said no matter how gassed out you r as a team the easy option is to ruck it it 1 out 1 out, he said u gotta find something in that period your out on your feet and play some footy instead of surrendering.

Hope super coach was listening better yet Gareth

You would have to say that the dragons boys will back up from origin after that.
None of them played huge minutes-
Hunt 51
Friz 44
Sims 40
JDB 35
Vaughan 23

Nene Macdonald looking to break his try-scoring drought for St George Illawarra Dragons at 'fortress' Kogarah
  • Dragon's Den

  • Nene Macdonald has made finding the stripe look easy this season but will look to break a personal duck when St George Illawarra return to Jubilee Oval to host the Wests Tigers on Sunday.

    Macdonald, who has scored nine tries in 16 games already this season, is yet to score a four-pointer for the Dragons at Kogarah in his eight appearances in the red V at St George’s spiritual home.

    The 24-year-old is only behind centre Euan Aitken (10) as St George Illawarra’s top try scorer this season, level with Matt Dufty on nine tries.

    Macdonald has a better record at Kogarah in a Gold Coast jersey. He scored twice for the Titans in a 32-12 victory over the Dragons in 2016.

    The giant winger is becoming known for his acrobatic finishes, scoring another incredible effort for the Dragons as they fell from the top of the NRL table after their late 52-30 loss to Melbourne on Thursday night.

    St George Illawarra will look to bounce back and secure a 10th win from their last 11 matches at their spiritual home when they welcome the Tigers to Kogarah.

    And Macdonald told the Leader the Dragons had turned Jubilee Oval into a fortress.

    “I’m pretty pumped for it. I love playing these Sydney games especially at Kogarah Oval. Any local games where the crowd is close up it brings that much more atmosphere than the big stadiums,” he said.

    “You come out to say ANZ [Stadium] and it’s the same amount of crowd but it’s just so spread out it feels like there’s hardly anyone there. Then you go to a smaller stadium with the same amount of people you hear the roars and everything and everyone getting involved just lifts [you] that little bit more and puts a bit more passion into it.

    “It’s home for us. No one wants to lose at home. I think that’s with every team. They don’t want to lose at home. No matter the team bottom or top of the table you want to lift at home.”

    St George Illawarra will hope to welcome back their State of Origin quintet of Ben Hunt, Tyson Frizell, Jack de Belin, Paul Vaughan and Tariq Sims after the five Dragons stars do battle in game three in Brisbane on Wednesday night.

    Kick-off is at 4.10pm.

But these are much harder minutes than normal nrl imo

Agreed.

The commentators said that Sims looked spent after his first stint.

Interesting that Hunt played a lot of minutes. He’ll likely be first choice hooker next year. Offers a lot more than McCullough, and it’s not enough to have hookers who just pass and tackle any more.

Cooks changed the position now.
