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

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!

Well we've had to travel a lot at the start of the season. You can check that. Heavy SoO representation. You can check that. Our boys are naturally tired.

What's your teams excuse? :lol:

I'm in full agreemance! The OP's a genius, but we know that already from past posts.
Added to that, let's give the Tiges an assist as well, after all they are one of the 'exciting' teams in the comp and we need them there at season's end. Second faves and all that.
Now we all know that they are far too generous for their own good, letting teams score at least a point for every one they score. My proposal, for each point the Tiges score, the other mob has to score two. Woud keep their games much closer and they might even win more. Of course if Benji is the scorer, let's give them another channel 9 cumfest bonus point as well! I'm so excited I think I'll fart. Imagine how competitive they'd be then. Almost guaranteed a spot in the 8.

Didn't read the post Vic, but in answer to the question. The answer is obviously yes.

I don't think the NRL would let this happen. Other teams might complain. But I think it would be good because our players are tired.

The NRL should give the St Merge Dragons an official statement declaring that they have only won one premiership and when two teams they become a new entity and don't get to retain the history of either club.

Still unsure why this issue matters so much to everyone else.

You also forgot that the NRL should allow Tony Archer to ref them every week and for Bill to be in the video refs box.
