Round 12 vs Roosters

[baggygreen man]

Our best opening 40 in probably two years. Pity about the next 30 when we invited them back into it. Carr will have his work cut out to eradicate these constant lapses.

Great to finally win and even better against the rorters. The boys had a dig tonight. Well done!!

 

[baggygreen man]

We went within a whisker of leading by 18 at the break after that brilliant Amone insertion. Have been harder for the Chooks to come back from that.

Enjoying the moment. How good will the weekend be with a Dragons win on a Friday night!

Did you see the look on Robinson's dial at the end.....I actually saw Ryles smile when we scored the match winner....I'm pretty good at lip reading and I'm positive I saw Robbo look at Ryles and say wtf are you grinning at and Ryles looking sheepish and claiming it was just wind

Tonight was the second step. First was getting rid of Hook

Yep, can just relax now. We can now say that we have broken that hoodoo of not winning against the Roosters in normal games other than Anzac Day wins for the last 13 years.

You ripper. It's been said plenty but we have a special group of kids coming through. Wins like that are massive for them.

And Zac Lomax kicked the winning points.

oh when the SAINTS...

 

[Draginzaaar]

Sloan had the balls to kick it , that's what special players can do ...... Well done boys .......

He was only special for about 2 minutes in that game. He was terrible. A fullback with no ticker. But in the end he comes up with the match winner.

Last-second try sees Dragons end painful week on a high

A Mathew Feagai try on the very last play of the game saw the Dragons put a tumultuous week behind them and snap a six-game losing streak with a 24-22 victory over the Roosters.

The best opening 40 in two years. Pity about the next 30 when we invited them back into it. Carr will have his work cut out for us not to copy that.

I think it's our fitness. Holes everywhere. Tedesco's first try was terrible.

He was only special for about 2 minutes in that game. He was terrible. A fullback with no ticker. But in the end he comes up with the match winner.

Agree , needs to stop surrendering in tackles , needs to hit the line at pace , make the opposition have to make a tackle, otherwise he get pushed back 20 metres ...... Need to persevere with him , I'm hoping he will figure out what he has to do ......

 

[Kolum Kid]

Great finish to a game. Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The defence in the first half was 100% on recent times. Hopefully this is the start of our return to being a competitive footy team we can be proud of.

How did radley remain on the field after head butting Lawrie....

if that was one of our players it would have been a send off and 10 games suspension...

anyway..winners are grinners...

I’ve read all the posts and it’s great to see the old dragons buzz on the forum again.
The shackles were released and we played some enterprising footy and showed aggression and never say die attitude.
I like the vibe that Carr gave from the box it was refreshing to see. I won’t go into the game as such, regardless of some dubious decisions. Long way to go now but a great start to a new dawn.
Happy weekend everyone!
Ps: The 3 2 and 1 points are shared by each and everyone of them.
