[Timmah]

Converted try for Saints... 24-16 now with less than ten remaining.

 

[Hutty1986]

They can bury us here

 

[Timmah]

They can, but they didn't...

 

[Hutty1986]

Game over now. Gutless.

 

[Timmah]

24-16 fulltime.

 

[Red Bear]

sounds like dragons were pretty aweful

 

[Blake]

The Dragon's are pies.

Couldn't even beat the Tigers who were missing their main playmaker.

Drag's didn't even look like wanting to pass the ball to Gaz in that second half. What's up with that?

Very good question!

 

[ByRd]

So whats the news on Benji???

 

[Blake]

News over here suggests his season could be over with a knee injury.

 

[Mr Saab]

So whats the news on Benji???

Tests tomorrow to see if he has done his ACL.
If he has then thats it for 2008

 

[ByRd]

Bloody hell, i feel sorry for the guy, he just cant get a break. There didnt seem to be much in the challenge either, disappointing for him and all rugby league fans.

 

[God-King Dean]

No spirit, no deep will to win, no guts, no nothing. Gasnier is the only one who looks competitive, & they ain't giving him the f*cking ball.

 

[eels_fan_01]

Gasnier didnt get enough ball but i mean if hes such a great player as they reckon he is he could have come in looking for it.

I tipped Tigers and i will not tip the Dragons all year, they are sh*t.

 

[Blaze]

Doctors now saying that they believe he may have injured his posterior cruciate ligament, which wouldn't require surgery and he would only be out for between 6-12 weeks.

I really hope that's the case. Feel so sorry for the guy

Ah yes, take the best one-on-one player in the world out of his best position. You're a regular Warren Ryan.

 

[wittyfan]

After watching that, the Dragons are very much a club going nowhere.

Oh here we go, another f**king stupid fight coming up.

He can go one on one in the middle of the field to you dumbf**k, every heard of players such as hookers isolating a tired foward.

Your a regular dickhead.

 

[God-King Dean]

Yes he can, that's why he did it about 5 times during the game. The thing people are discussing is why nobody gave it to him out wide.
