2018 EF1 Sun - Broncos 18-48 Dragons @ Suncorp

[Big Salad]

Gut feeling all week has been that the Dragons will spring an upset in this game. Broncos seem to score a lot of 'hail mary' tries compared to other teams rather than structured attacking tries. Even last week, two of the tries were long range off Manly attacking kicks, plus another intercept from Nikorima. Their left side defense of Milford/Kahu/Oates has been a problem all year and is what gives all teams a chance against them. It will result in points for the Dragons at some point during the game.

Agree with the above, Broncos have zero set plays and the Dragons just need to run some well rehearsed set plays that isolate Kahu in particular and they can pull off the upset.

Well rehearsed you say...

At least we know Mary well rehearses his post game invetviews so might be in with a chance there.

Well this is weird. Going for the mighty Red V today. Any tips, other than hating Mary’s guts?

You're going to need whisky.

 

[Mr Angry]

Dragons need a good dose of Flanno ball.

Hold the pil.

Ran hard, tackle hard, keep it simple, take the two.

Do not over think it.

You know like the beginning of the season.

Keep your kids out of the room when watching the game. It’s not easy explaining what ‘merkin’ means over & over & over again.

Funny enough that was Price's mantra as well and look how that turned out.

Flanno must have some other thing he tells the lads to play properly.

C'mon Dragons, end these pricks' season.

A little wig shaped like Tasmania OR first name of US President Muffley in the 1963 film Dr Strangelove.

They have a good idea after sitting next to me watching the sharks game last night...

It's not "hail mary", it's playing what you see instead of these out the back sweep plays that end up being a no try obstruction, the game needs more of it.

I just hope the Dragon's halves adopt the ever so successful kick to the towering Corey Oates game plan, it's been working a real treat.. let's kick to the tallest bloke on the ground who has the body of a second rower

Also feeling an upset here. The good guys by 4. Ben Hunt to get a double.

You have Boyd, Roberts, Lodge, McGuire and are coached by Bennett. The Gestapo were a more likeable team.

All 4 would be walk up starters for Newcastle, how does that make you feel?
