Fugg... brings you guys right back to the field tbh... he's one of your best.

Barba should tear you a new one ;-)

Or create massive gaps in your defensive line.

The guy is a deadset turnstile in the U20's. He faces a huge task defending against some of the dragons backline players.

Massive talent though, hope he goes well. He is a freak in attack.

Having watched him in TC, he's actually quite committed. He has plenty to do and as a small player he'll always be a bit of a walkover (ala Joe Williams), but he's hardly the turnstile people have been making him out to be.

He should shine tonight, and he won't be playing the full 80 if what I've heard is correct...

I hope our boys are still fired up after last weeks fiasco.

This rain that is bound to hang around for tonight could just play into the 'Dogs hands tbh. It will mean that the Dragons won't be able to throw the ball around as much as they'd like and it could well turn into a dour forward battle. Sure, the 'Dogs have a fair few out, but their forwards could well turn up and rip in tonight. In light of the last 48 hours or so, I think the Dragons will win, but its times like these the 'Dogs pull something out of the hat.

Hoping for a big turnout tonight from Dogs supporters committed to supporting their TEAM at a time when its needed the most.

Dragons have a far better kicking game, in particular long kicking and bomb's off Sowards boot. Holdsworth, Barba etc etc are more running style players. With the weather, kicking will play a critical part and at the moment the Dragons have the better pack.

The rain will nullify the backlines, but it won't play into the bulldogs hands.

I think if the dogs can get one early it will steel them up for fight, on the other hand though I think if Saints ever get to a 12 point lead, it could get ugly.

He's committed in defence, but he does have a tendency to drop off tackles fairly easily. It's not going to get any easier in first grade.

Nor is that U20's attacking confidence expected to make the transition to first grade straight away.

I'll be very surprised if he makes a substantial impact on the game, especially in these weather conditions. He is however, going to be a star for the dogs in years to come.

Judging by the conclusion to the Souths game a few weeks back - rain won't favour us

 

[salivor]

As much as I love to hate the club I hope the Bulldogs put 50 on the Dragons tonight as a big f**k you to SBW.

 

[God-King Dean]

As long as Saints maintain discipline, we should win comfortably.

I hope Ryles isn't too fired up after last week.

 

[God-King Dean]

If someone could provide updates on the U/20's game, that would be supercalafrickinawesome.

 

[Deacon]

the corner of FSN shows the Dragons leading 12-0 at HT

 

[Deacon]
