What was all this derby fuss about?

[weasel]

I have a confession to make. It's hard for me to come clean but I need to get this out- I was really worried about this game.

Ok, ok. With the comparitive form of the two sides you wouldn't have wanted to tip anything but a dragons victory. But the forum has been abuzz with Sharks fans talking this weekend up, as if it was destined to be the moment where we were brought back to earth. But it wasn't.

We are for real this year. Our forwardpack is superb. Gasnier and Cooper combine to make the most lethal centre pairing in the league. Hornby must be one of the most reliable fullbacks in the comp, even if he often goes about his work in a no-frills manner. Tonight he showed he can turn it up a notch when he needs to. A top four finish must surely be the least we can expect from this year, anything else would be a failure. I'm starting to believe again.

I don't think the Sharks looked all that bad. They were awful to start this year but their form these past few weeks makes me think they're a strong chance to make the top eight. But tonight they were simply outplayed by a real premiership contender. Go the dragons!

I am a bulldogs supporter and have said that since day one.. yet no one would belive me. Its awesome to see gasnier fit and healthy.. and playing superb footy.. what scares me more.. you have two Internationals out to come back into the team :?

I can't beleive how dull, the ground is!! No atmosphere what so ever....those sharks fans should be ashamed of themselves. Pathetic!

Hornby's Try-fecta.
Gaz's double.
And Thommo... another champion effort.

Can't fault your assessment weasel - just hope I don't run into you tomorrow wearing your red and white - I've suffered enough tonight. :lol:

No atmosphere! I thought the game was good, especially at the start. Towards the end I admit it died down but I kno I wasnt into it to much once u guys got 18 - 0 up on the board, I was just sitting in shock!

 

[Biglance]
