09 :: R12 Fri :: Dragons 38 Panthers 10 @ WIN Wollongong

[Big Mick]

The dragons are doing pretty well with 8 of their top 17 out including 6 origin/test standard players. It's drawing a long bow to suggest the panthers are doing so well despite their big names missing.
It's a pretty even game but I'm hoping the dragons play well for 80minutes. I'm doubting the panthers can maintain the rage for 80.

Starter - Replacement:
Dragons
Cooper - Stanley - Not bad really...
Boyd - Nightingale - Test winger as a replacement...
Weyman - Hunt - Good player
Poore - Jon Green - Fair enough but he's played a bit of FG.
Creagh - Dean Young - Not exactly average
Saffy - Merrin - Fair enough
Smith - Beau Scott - in great form
Prior -Neville Costigan - SOO player

Penrith:
Petero Civoniceiva - Sam Mckendry (Under 20's)
Michael Jennings - Geoff Daniella
Luke Lewis - Joseph Paulo
Trent Waterhouse - Tim Grant

Don't give me that garbage that the Dragons are so hurt by players leaving, they've got great players to fill in positions...we on the other hand are replacing them with 20 year olds....hence why I said i'm proud of their heart.

Oh wait...and again...the referee's are at it again...Stanley strips the ball...and there you have it...a try from the penalty...fantastic..

 

[Stremo]

You guys only see what goes against the panthers

 

[bigfoot]

I already mentioned a few calls that went Penrith's way Stremo.
Maybe you should read the thread.

 

[Stremo]

forward pass let gues another bad call??? from the ref

 

[skeepe]

How was that forward? f**k me.

 

[Stremo]

Well when i go back through I cant see much

 

[bigfoot]

Hahaha. Pull your head in. Troll.

 

[Big Mick]

forward pass let gues another bad call??? from the ref

Do you have eyes...just checking?

Take the dragons glasses off...put rational ones on..you can't honestly say that was forward.

 

[Willow]

Did anyone catch what Jarrod Sammut's injury was?

 

[bigfoot]

Nvm, they mentioned his hip so I have no idea.

 

[Big Mick]

Did anyone catch what Jarrod Sammut's injury was?

Hip injury.

Tore a muscle stripping the ball from Merrin. When Merrin tackled him...he twisted badly.

 

[skeepe]

Nightingale knocked that on! Panthers getting absolutely rorted here.

 

[Willow]

Thanks guys, torn ligament will do. Cheers.

 

[Big Mick]

That should have been a knock on against Soward...if not...then Nightingale knocking it on in the pick up...Far out...decisions so far Dragons 20 - Penrith 2.

 

[Stremo]

It was way forward omg there was a forward pass that went unoticed on the panthers + a early nockon from the hooker see me whinging no I didnt. Open my eyes? I dont know what game you guys are watching

 

[Big Mick]

Thanks guys, torn ligament will do. Cheers.

Will probably result in a shift from Cooper to centres, Daniella to wing.

 

[bigfoot]

Good work Pritchard.

 

[God-King Dean]

Pritchards looking lively. Never a good sign.

 

[Caged Panther]

WTF gavin cooper kicking, what about walsh or coote?

Aiton knocked on from dummy-half and that was missed, and Iosefa could easily have gone to the sin-bin, so at least it's not all going one way.

Caged Panther: I have no idea...
