    best wins at Kogarah

    Victoire, thanks for the great memories. My favourite would be the 2004 comeback against Manly. As you say, a fightback led by Nathan Blacklock. I recall a Manly set where Nathan was involved in 5 of the 6 tackles. He was absolutely on fire. Got a close up photo of him after the game, as you say...

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    Tui looks a real goer. Charges strongly and is difficult to pull down. But if Hook's sacking is to represent a line in the sand, then you have to pick Musgrove. Giving his all and leading the pack in the Cup week after week must be recognised by promotion.

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    I was at the ground, BGM. But only got there 20 mins into the Cup game. Last few weeks I have been trying to watch the lower grades to increase the chances of seeing a Dragons' win. The strategy failed on Sunday. Difficult this week with Cup team playing at Blacktown at 3pm Sunday while the NRL...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    RV2010, Webster was named at 18. I missed the first 20 mins in which there must have been a concussion because Haele Finau was already on the field as well as Muhleisen. Took me awhile to realise centre Johnson was not on the field. I assume Webster got a brief run because of a 2nd concussion...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    For me, one of the few highlights of the 2 games yesterday was the first up performance of Alec Tuitavake. I have been watching Fifita closely after all the hype of the pair being poached from Manly. To this point, in my opinion, Fifita has not matched the hype. On the other hand, I was very...

    The Rumours Thread

    My first thought on reading about Josh Kerr was personal disappointment because he's the only player I have had several conversations with and at all times I found him willing to give me his time, being friendly, humble and very likeable. He represents his people well and I think he has been a...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    Very fair point, OT. But KOE Cup is all we have to evaluate the guys outside the top NRL 17. If we consider the Mary and Griffin eras, we could make the judgment that many players who looked good in the level below, KOE or NSW Cup, didn't make it at NRL level because of the much higher...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    OT, I travelled up from Wollongong today in the hope of seeing a Dragons' victory, at a time when the NRL team is in the doldrums. After the disappointing JF performance and 0-12 down after 6 mins I'll take a 30-18 victory in NSW Cup especially because the team played well and at times played...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    Complete transformation by the Dragons since the opening 10 mins. Playing like a good team! Leading 22-12 at half time. Worth the trip to Wentworth Park just to see a piece of absolute brilliance from Jayden Sullivan to set up a try just before half time. Reckon he might make the NRL side one...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    Zane Musgrove has just run into the field for NSW Cup. Interesting to see how the NRL lines up as a result. Soft try to the Roosters after just 4 mins. 0-6. 0-12 after 6 mins! Just following the pattern of the Flegg game, 16-42. Roosters took their chances and Dragons made sure they had plenty...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    QRedV, Fifita went ok for his first 20 min spell without looking special. Only lasted about 3 mins in his 2nd spell before injuring his shoulder. When shaking hands after the game he didn't appear to be too inconvenienced. I'll accept the judgement of others on his potential but on the day...

    The Rumours Thread

    This is what Michael Chammas in the Sydney Morning Herald wrote this morning: While Amone was named on the bench at the start of the week, this column has been told that Anthony Griffin was going to start the Tongan international at five-eighth and planned to use Sullivan off the bench. That...

    The Rumours Thread

    Tonight I thought Junior was much more involved than he was for much of last year and much more so than Jayden has been. Appeared full of confidence. A couple of better clearing kicks too and a nice grubber for Zac's try as though he has been working on his kicking game. But he did miss some...

    Reasons to be Cheerful Pt. 3...

    It's not that hard finding a few positives when you need to. Here's a few: 1. Dragons NSW Cup team led a game for about 5 minutes on Sunday. Gotta be an improvement. 2. The NRL team has won one game which is better than our NSW Cup team. 3. Next Saturday the game is at WIN Stadium. The Dragons...

    Dragons V Sharks Round 4

    RV8, the best memory for me from that era and a little earlier was being in the Sheridan Stand at the SCG and watching this growing line of white jerseys with the big Rev V emerge from the home dressing room. Hard to reproduce the excitement I would feel at that moment these days. I don't blame...

    New recruits for 2023

    Thanks very much for sharing, OT. I don't remember seeing any of that footage before. I tend to think though that it shows a very different game in a very different era. The kicking duel for example, the chip shown in that brilliant backline movement. It gives the impression of more movement of...

    Charity Shield 2023 vs Souths

    Good onya, Miller! One improvement that no one seems to have noted about Sloan is that he either caught the bombs or dropped them. Not a single one was left to bounce which I believe was his biggest weakness and similarly with Dufty who also had his rule of a failed intercept being better than...

    New recruits for 2023

    OT, I have enjoyed your recent postive posts attempting to combat the all-pervasive negativity towards the club on this Forum. However regarding Ford I would argue that his opportunities dried up just when he was beginning to show improvement. He also tried his guts out every week as capt in NSW...

    Junior Amone

    Dragonsupporter has written: Seems to me the education system is spitting out entitled twats who think they can do anything and get away with it. A bit tough on the education system. Surely it's the Rugby League pathways system that produces the "entitled twats" not the education system which...
