[Saints Forever]

Canterbury played very well against the Storm.

We will need to lift to have any chance of getting close to them.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Dark memories coming back..

 

[ST Tangles 01]

Massive game this week
Coming of 2 wins against teams we've had a good run against to a side that no matter how shit they are playing always lift against us.
I hate losing against this side because their fans are feral.
But we can't afford to go into this game with anything less than full intensity or it'll be like last year.

 

[Wittenberg]

Dogs have played well the last two weeks. They were unlucky not to beat the Storm in Melbourne today. I’d probably see the Dogs as favourites for next week.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Will be a tough game.....even allowing for golden point at least we play Sunday....I know they flogged us last time but think the result will be in our favour next week

 

[Saints Forever]

Their wingers are massive, strong and Fast.

Houston, we have a problem.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

kick out ravalawa and aitken. put lomax in at centre and pearson on the wing. make hunt pull the finger out. teach duff how to catch difficult bombs.

OH WAIT BUT MARY'S OUR COACH

Agree. Hunt and Norman need to bombard Dufty with bombs at training practice.

 

[RedVDave]

I really hate Scumterbury!!!

 

[Overseas dragon]

lets hope the boys remember kogarah and isnt payback a bitch GO THE BIG RED VVVVVVV

 

[WoyD4LWoy]

Last years embarrassment should be enough motivation for Dragons win by 20! I think we have lost Korbin with a broken arm

 

[denis preston]

The question is , how many players out ? Simms for sure , perhaps Host as well.

 

[Water11]

Jesus!!!. Last year's result is on the cards again. Unfortunately, they played well against a team who would have smashed us even yesterday. Jesus. Another home loss is on mcidiot's schedule. Damn!!!

Not if Waterboy has an epiphany & plays Lomax @#3 IMO

But he won’t sack his Steelers mate under any circumstances.

Never

 

[BLM01]

I have noticed in Mary's press conference especially last night he let the journos have it and hit em with both barrels.
It is not the "Book of Feuds"..it's the "Book of Excuses"
Oh boy did we have an unlucky injury and tough travel short turn around times start to this season.
And those soft journos feed him and fuel it!.
Are you listening St George Board!,...course you are... that is all you listen too!
Oh and those 2 tries...it is was not Euan's fault. The 1st won was a lucky "2nd phase" play which is not allowed in football that caught us out. The 2nd one.....crickets!
It's hard to be the only club with injuries to its better players.

I wish journos would ask about his 1 out football and pick on Euan for his defensive reads like they did with Bellamy and those 1st 2 tries they let in having a shot at his right side defence.
Yes Melbourne have warranted criticism how dare they be behind at half time!.

Canterbury played very well against the Storm.

We will need to lift to have any chance of getting close to them.

The Dogs will be buggered after that torrid game. If Lomax is at 3 and if we have a four forward bench - Robson at 14, we should win and at the same time, take a big step towards avoiding fatigue among our forwards.

 

[Smack]

Will be a tough game, hopefully the boys fire up and don't let history repeat

Yes Go Dragons

& BTW in all my years watching the boys I’ve never seen such consistently good linespeed - so they’ve got that bit right at last IMO

Wish they’d try some wraparound plays in the backline to create the overlap for what are the simplest of tries.

Souths in the early 70’s were past masters of it

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

If we play like we did last night, and Canterbury play like they did yesterday afternoon, we will lose...simple as that.
