Should the NRL give the dragons 6 weeks off in the middle of the season?

[Vic Mackey]

Guys in case you hadn't heard the dragons are REALLLLLLLLLLY tired!!

The poor blokes have had to play 57 games in the past 3 weeks! Ben Creagh had to play 8 in one day last Tuesday!

They are the only team going through this and it really isnt fair. Trent Merrin and Dean Young made 7 hit ups combined in the last state of origin!! Why should they be put through this hell whilst teams like the Storm and Broncos have it easy?

Their are a few scenarios i see that the NRL should adopt:

* giving the dragons 6 byes for the next 6 weeks

* dragons games get reduced to 60 minutes and the dragons start the game with a 9 nil lead (4 goals and 1 field goal). If it goes to golden point the dragons automatically win

* opposition teams warm up 3 km from the ground and have to run their 20 minutes before kick off


Only this can end the injustice!

 

[moik]

Good idea.

 

[Talanexor]

Why not? They've already changed the rules to reflect the Dragons' preferred style of play.

 

[wittyfan]

That extra ten minutes for them was a killer imho.

 

[ellskimore]

I don't think this idea will ever eventuate but I would gladly accept it.

When playing the tigers as long as the players can keep sheens off the sideline, then they have done their job .

They should get any rewards what comes with that

You post in riddles.

I think if you add these 2 rules, the Dragons might be interested :

- every game for the remainder of the season must go to 10 minutes of extra time ( regardless of whether the scores are level after 80 minutes )

- extend the byes for the Dragons until October 2nd

I like it, I like it.

Only if we also get 6 weeks.

Great idea!!

All games not involving the dragons have to go for 90 minutes

 

[Dragon]

Awesome idea, make it happen Gallop!

 

[Stagger eel]

poor little pumpkins.

 

[grouch]

An amazing team. Been all over the world playing as thousand games in these last 4 months. And still beat the Tigers

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Too many late nights polishing their trophies?

 

[DragonPunk]

Sure why not, extend it to any team with 6 or more representative players

I guess being a Tigers fan you wouldn't ever know the meaning of a tired club. Your club makes the 8 one time every 5 years so they get a few games off there. You don't have any players playing for NSW or QLD and only one player in city vs country and one for NZ.

Hahahaha, poor old Vic and his Tigers

This is a very good idea. We are the only team that is tired and everything is unfair. I think it would also only be fair if we were given 2 points for each of those weeks.

Sounds pretty unfair if you ask me, should be 6 points each week.
