2017 R8 ANZAC Day - Roosters 13-12* Dragons @ Allianz

[horrie hastings]

Pearce to dominate and step up for origin.

I'll be interested to see if young Mitchell gets a game. His head may be in a strange place after the Tedesco news.

Mitchell played for Wyong today so wont be playing against the Dragons.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Dragons concede an average of 5 penalties per game this season. Expect them to only give away 2 in this game. 1 for kicking it out on the full

Players have played for the 1st grade side after being involved in lower grades on the same weekend.

In the 80s maybe. Don't think it happens much these days

This is the answer I got back from the chookpen about whether Mitchell could play Tuesday after playing for Wyong

Not allowed under the new rules without requesting a special dispensation from the NRL. Our 17 for Tuesday has to come from the 21 announced, minus any of those named who play in the lower grade.

True I think unless there is an injury on game day etc it's hard to get

From memory,there was a St George player,I think a hooker, who played in the u 23's,reserves and 1st grade GF's. Mostly as a replacement in the reserve and firsts,but not sure if he played a full game in u 23's.

 

[roostersrule2]

Keary to score 3 tries against this punk team.

Chris Gider played in all 3 grand finals in 1985 for the dragons.

They won both lower grade grand finals in extra time and went down by one point in first grade. 7-6 to the dogs.

Yes,that's him....thanks for that. Though I'm sure his name was spelt Guider.

 

[dangerousdave]

Is Napa playing?

 

[King hit]

Can't wait for this game, the ANZAC day game never disappoints

 

[Hutty1986]

Will have to be at our very best to win this. Roosters might be due to actually win an ANZAC Day game after we have been up for so many weeks in a row... hopefully the second half against the Cows was just a mental lapse.

 

[King hit]

This was tough to tip but I went with the Roosters. Overdue for a good performance and will lift for this one.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Is Napa playing?

Doesn't matter. Whoever replaces him will be better anyway.

Napa is just a poor man's Klemmer.

 

[Exsilium]

Dragons by 28 - 12

FTS Lafai.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Michael Ennis looks likes he's been drawn by Seth McFarlane

 

[eagles4eva]

Should be a cracker of a game, Going Roosters by 4

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's a great opportunity for braith to say great opportunity 50 times.
