He may be a muppet but Matty Johns has always said young halves first 50-60 games in first grade is all about survival, getting used to the physicality being targeted along with the inconsistency in performance.

Dylan is now 58 games in and i must say he hasn't looked better. As frustrating the last 2 years have been i think will help Dylan in long run.

And BA just leave him in the halves even with injuries to outside backs.

What happened in round 1 with his son coming off the bench and punting Dylan to the centes shouldnt happen again if he is serious.

Cartwright was pushed out into centres last night when waqa went off was it ideal probably not.

But neither is shifting your first choice 5/8 to the centres and wrecking your spines cohesion.

I must say i was pretty confident when i heard the lads screaming and yelling waiting to run out in the tunnel i haven't heard that much energy when there about to run out since being at Commbank. They seemed pumped and it showed.

To be fair, the Dragons have conceded the most points of anyone after four rounds. Have they played the four best attacking teams or are they just shit? We are third worst for points conceded, and happen to have played two of the other three top four sides.

Have to admit dragons looked like draught horses, eels like racehorses, the gulf was so wide.

ImExcept when we play teams that don't give up, how did grinding go against Cronulla competing at 88%??? How did it go against the Panthers??? Storm also??? We threw some caution against the wind last week against them and knocked them off. They eat that grinding stuff for Breaky.

Go and grind your penis

I'm happy to grind for the first 12 weeks and get wins in the board. That start to introduce new things to our game. Why fire your shots so opposition can see them. Best to keep a few for late in se a son and the finals.

We don't really know yet how good our opponents have been either. Our one loss was to the Sharks who are currently top four. How likely are they to still be top four at season's end? It's certainly possible.
Well storm and sharks both look top 4/6 teams this year. Sharks could definitely finish top 4.

If that game is played at Parramatta instead of a pumped up shark park we probably win.

Sharks were better team but still only pipped us on the buzzer.

I dont think many teams are leaving Shark park or even Melbourne with the 2 points. So going 1-1 on the road against them is probably a good result.

Euphemism like a Mo Fo right here.
