[Ice Ice Brady]

They are bringing up the bloke from Wentworthville.
:lol:

 

[Tipster]

Should play Daniel Mortimer instead

 

[Timmah]

Confirmed that it's Jeff Robson.

The Dragons might struggle without Finch.

:lol:
Dragons should win this one comfortably.
The only things I can see in Parra's favour is the Broncos factor with teams not always backing so well after facing the bronx. And the bounce back factor.
Don't think the Bennett coached Dragons will be worried about either.

What about the referees looking after Parra particularly when they play at home factor?

 

[imasharkie]

while ever Hayne plays at 5/8, eels are in a no win situation.

Hayne is a winger and thats it.

Saints by plenty

 

[jpaciocco91]

are saints going to wear red v or red rag? @ parra we always seem to wear the away strip.

The main thing I see counting against us is Steve Clark in the VR box.

Aside from that, I am a little nervous about this one - I'm expecting Parra to come out all guns blazing after what they've copped in the mediathe last week. We will have to be at our best to beat them.

Saints by 4 - 8.

Clark was the video ref last friday night too, the dragons kept him quiet think they can do it again this week

In years gone by the Dragons would lose this one. All the hard work blown. But not this year and not with that forward pack. FYI it looks like Poore is out and I don't think Boyd will play. And the Eels are due to fire up. So tighter than it should be - Dragons by 6.

 

[jpaciocco91]

f**k Steve Clark.:x just hope he doesn't need to intervene in anything. he didnt last week, just hope tonight its the same

 

[thommo4pm]

Very very nervous about this game.
I just hope our boys are focussed and have paid no attention to the hammering Parra have copped in the media this week.

If we come out and play with the same intensity and focus we have for the first 4 weeks of the comp, then it wont matter what Parra do, we will win.
Our pack is too strong for Parra's pack, and our backs are just as good if not better then the Parra backline.

Mateo at 5/8 is a concern, but I can see Jeremy Smith rattling him early, along with Beau Scott or Ben Creagh....depending on which side of the field he try's to attack on.

 

[Gaba]

The problem for the eels is the dragons know mateo is the only attacking player they got, yes they have hayne and inu but they will be useless once mateo gets shut down,

Bennett would have been training the dragons like they are coming off a lost and make sure their minds on the job

:lol::lol:

Imo, for some reason.. i can smell an upset:sarcasm:

Dragon's record at Parra isn't pretty either

Our record there is pretty abysmal.

I'll be dissapointed though if the boys don't win by at least 12.

 

[Dragon]

I reckon it will be a very close game, saints by 2. Best of luck Eels.

 

[_Johnsy]

so long as we get the 2 points I'll be happy.

 

[kia ora storm]

I wouldnt be shocked...

i think it would be an upset however and it wouldn't be what i was expecting!

Hope it is an upset for your sake..

 

[Spike]

Weyman on report for a high shot on Moi Moi

 

[Spike]

Grothe and Costigan throw down
