Round 5 v Sharks

[18to87]

Clearly the win was to do with the Red V being worn finally and nothing else

 

[Coffs dragon]

For some reason, I just feel it was Flanno that selected & coached the team this week against his former club.
Call me cynical, but I reckon Mary had other stuff going on, like saving his arse and grovelling to Andrew Gordon of WINless Corp.

 

[Blood&Bandage]

People bagging Rava and Pereira after today’s performance are kidding themselves.

They both had handling errors. But they both had their best games in a long time. They did a cracking job getting our sets off to a start. If they haven’t been dropped previously they won’t be dropped now.

I’d prefer to have Saab in the team too. But they were both massively improved and were a big reason that we got the win today.

Rava’s returns are awesome!!!

It’s under the high ball that terrifies me.

He’s rocks and diamonds.

Couldnt see anyone else in the coaching box yesterday. I was looking for Flanno did anyone notice maybe on the sidelines? Great win

 

[Old Timer]

Lol..

Sorry OT, but you really have flipped your lid on this one..

The majority of us dragons fans are enjoying the win..

Why can’t you?

Deflection and deception as usual when the heat is put on you.

I am enjoying the win and that was not the basis or the content of the posts we have exchanged.

You are using the win as a way of goading Dragonsamy and you trying to ridicule him.

You are too gutless to admit what you are doing and as usual you just change the truth to suit yourself.

Mean spirited on your part muzby just man up and admit you do these things on purpose and you are a merkin for doing so.

Do you have to turn every thread into yet another of your rants against me?

You’re boring.

Everyone’s sick of it.

 

[Crush]

Geez it's good to get a win over the Sharks.
It might not continue but I'm really happy with the way they played yesterday, it was a massive improvement. Far from perfect but a step in the right direction.

 

[st.phil]

I'd bite the bullet and punt Norman now

Yes Flanno was in the box, standing & walking around in the background, away from TV detection.
Probably had to because Mary was abusing the spare chair every time RAV4 dropped the ball.

 

[YoHadrian]

Samy trips are usually a fine of $1500. He’ll be there next week

Hope so. I enjoyed his kicking game yesterday.

 

[thebigredv]

We are a confidence team and confidence teams merely make up the numbers.

With Dufty leading the way there. Probably because he doesn't care about what McGregor thinks anymore.

Your a smart man coffs

 

[Saint52]

To me the fact that Hunt was not kicking was a plus Norman and Clune followed the game plan and kept the ball in play in the corners. Kick and chase was great.

Are you trying making yourself look foolish Muzby , well done.
You have succeeded.

How? Just asking what the mood was like down at the club yesterday?

The win seemed to have lifted their spirits.

 

[Knight Dragon]

I don’t give a flying rats arse that they won.

Have merely become a casual viewer of the team and the game (until such time that Maestro is given the flick)...

However, from listening in at times on the radio and watching the highlights:

• Seems that everyone in the team lifted for the occasion of the derby
• Dufty is probably our best option at 1 (although let's see how long Maestro keeps him there)
• Hunt off the bench with significant game time at 9 is probably the way to go going forward
• Norman & Clune well controlled games in the halves, especially their kicking games, albeit last tackle options down in the opp 20m still need a hell of a lot of polish
• Longer term, Tyrell Fuimaono could well be a fairly handy replacement for Frizell
• James Graham on tired legs is very much borrowed time now - Ford needs game time
• JP & Rava had better games, but agree with those who've said that Saab should still be given a run ahead of Rava in games upcoming
• Aitken is still a turnstile

Finally:

• Were we really that much better than the Sharks, or were they worse / having an off day?
• How much of the game plan was influenced by Flanno knowing his opposition?
• Important for the team to get a decent win against the Titans next week, as the draw only gets harder from then on
• Media blowtorch on Maestro should go offline for a re-fuel, for now

Agree on Hunt - he gave some great spark from dummy half..

I like Mick Ennis’ defence, but I’ve found his DH service to be a bit slow at times. Maybe a more permanent move to lock could be a good thing..

Although that does leave us the with possibly the most expensive hooker in the comp..

Surprised by the Saints win and good on the team for it. As much as I want to see drastic change at St. George, I'm changing my opinion and hope we never get the spoon.

I'm hoping that the majority of us Dragons fans are thinking the same Qapm. Why wish for us to get the spoon when it feels better when we win games irrespective on how that might affect the outcome of Mary's misfortunes one day?

For us to come last just so we can get rid of Mary is not what we are following our team for. Wins are greater than having losses even though we want Mary gone.
