[Packy]

Whatever happens Timmah's team wins.

lolled.

 

[Sleep]

Dragons by plenty. The Dogs halves are average and their backline isn't much better.

 

[grandorient]

A'hhhh don't know,

Dragons by 50 in a tight one.

GO

YEP CAN'T SEE THE DOGIES WINNING AGAINST THE DRAG QUEENS:crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[DoggiesBroke]

Saints will run away with it. Will be close for a while though.

I hope the Dogs can defend like they did against the Panthers.

 

[Jono1987]

Moffo's curse works in reverse for the Dragons. Evidence is abundant. We will win and win easily.

 

[Packy]

Frank out. Taupau in (I hope).

Go get em Marty.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

You Rockfail spunkers are going to get tonked

Dogs 50-dragons 2

2 x Soward Field Goals?

 

[The.X.Factor9]

If we turn up and play like we did against the Panthers we are going to get humiliated, especially if we have a 25/39 completion rate like we did on the weekend.

The dragons look more expansive this year, if we turn up this could be an awesome game.

My prediction:

Barba to make a break, scoring the winning try only to have it called back because Eastwood was within two metres of Soward when attempting the tackle.

Seriously though, Dogs by 4 with a crowd of 30k.

 

[Pokemon80]

The key to winning for us is putting Barba under pressure and forcing a massive workload on his shoulders. He really can be poor in defence and we need to expose that with surgical kicking to single him out.

If there is ever a one on one situation and his nearest help is spread out further than usual, we can run right over him.

Is Cooper playing?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Hard to see the dragons losing this, won't be a blowout though

Illawarra by 7

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Is Cooper playing?

Still unknown... Chase Stanley is on standby

I think we'll win 20-12... Bulldogs were pretty ordinary last week, Dragons were pretty solid, if not one of the best performers last round (but my bias may be blinding me on that one). With that said, it's round 2, you never know what teams are going to put out there on the pitch.

 

[Packy]

Is Kyle Stanley always shite under the high ball or were last weeks incidents uncharacteristic?

He only spilled one ball under the high ball last week... If you're referring to the header of the ball when fielding a grubber... Then yes it's uncharacteristic.

We were pretty bland in attack... but our defence was top-notch IMO. You'll need to be even better in attack than you were against Newcastle I think.

 

[chrisD]

Dragon forwards to smash the dogs in the middle of the park and Barba to be found out by the Saints quality kicking game. Scott is a liability in the centers. Dragons 10+

 

[thommo4pm]

Is Cooper playing?

Didn't train today.

Chase Stanley & Beau Scott trained in the centres.

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Didn't train today.

Chase Stanley & Beau Scott trained in the centres.

The Telegraph says that neither Cooper or Stanley trained yesterday

 

[Bazzi]

Apparently Nathan Green trained in the centres, would rather Chase play though, if Cooper's out injured that is.
