09 :: R21 Fri :: Dragons 26 Storm 12 @ WIN Jubilee

[Jason Maher]

I've already sold one of my sisters to get Hayne in the red V, but I'd gladly part with the other one (who supports Saints) to ensure an end to our hoodoo against the purple scum.

 

[_Johnsy]

I have a feeling that this will be the last chance for Melb beat us for 2-3 years.

 

[Noa]

I have a feeling that this will be the last chance for Melb beat us for 2-3 years.

Better get that checked out.

Bromwich
Chisholm
Stanley
Duffie
Proctor

We'll be better from 2011-2013 then were from 06-08.

 

[Apey]

I have a feeling that this will be the last chance for Melb beat us for 2-3 years.

:lol: Wtf?

I love reading this sh*t... will be tipping Dragons, but hope Storm get up.. for the lols.

 

[God-King Dean]

I have a feeling that this will be the last chance for Melb beat us for 2-3 years.

lol, I'll be happy just to beat em on Friday.

 

[This Year?]

I'll feel sorry for the Storm mods if the Saints win this one.

 

[dragondad]

Man this is gonna be a cracker.

It's 2 v 3 in the 20s aswell.

 

[Whoosh]

I think the Dragons will get up in this one, but it should be close.

Here's a few stats going in to the game.

Melbourne V St George Ill

Most matches: Matt Geyer (Mel) 20, Matt Cooper (SGI) 16

Most Tries: Steve Turner (Mel) & Nathan Blacklock (SGI) 10, Matt Cooper (SGI) & Matt King (9), Matt orford (Mel) 8

Most Goals: Cameron Smith (Mel) 28, Matt Orford (Mel) 21, Wayne Bartrim (SGI) 16

Most Points: Orford 74, Smith 64, Blacklock 46, Turner 44

Looking at the team named in the Telegraph we will be without Nightingale, Cooper, Smith and Paea again.

 

[thommo4pm]

How on earth does Matt Cecchin get to ref this match? :?

 

[Timmah]

He's usually teamed with Maxwell and they're considering Maxwell one of the better refs lately... I guess that's it.

 

[Jason Maher]

We should win this game, we are playing a mile better than them, and it's our home game, but years of failure make it difficult to be confident. In Bennett we trust...

 

[Jono1987]

Definitely shapes as one of the better clashes this season. Looking forward to the individual battles across the field. I've got a sneaking suspicion that Cooper will be a late inclusion with Stanley to the bench playing the Florence Nightingale role.

Saints 1-12.

 

[STG-Dragon]

Biggest game of the season so far for saints, will be a real test. Go you Dragons!

 

[_Johnsy]

IMO, We are building a stronger squad, & I think melb will continue to lose strength. I have been wrong many times before, and I am sure I will be wrong again. It's just an opinion.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

This will be a cracker of a game. I think the Dragons should edge the Storm at home. We lost by a point in round one and have improved massively since that meeting.

I am going down to Melbourne for business on Friday morning (great timing!) What are the chances that I will be able to see the footy down there? Is it still shown at midnight or something?

Mate, check the link here and come along. There is talk of getting 100 people, will be a cracker!!

[DragonPunk]

Word from the Dragons forum that there has been 18k tickets sold, so heading towards a sell out

 

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

I've tipped Melbourne, but that's more hope than much else.

I think the Dragons will get the win here. It'll be a close one. Dragons by 4 with Brett Morris snatching a hat-trick.

 

[jpaciocco91]

I'm predicting the crowd will exceed the number at the Dogs game in May but fall short of the record set in March against Cronulla. C=19,447.

 

[dragondad]

should be a bigger crowd than the Dogs crowd,since the capacity was reduced for safety and police reasons.
