Dragons leading 14-2 at half-time

Commentators said that one punter had $53k on the Eels with 6.5 start

Well Parra came fired up, and have been the better team imo. Dragons just lacking discipline and giving away too much ball, very fortunate to be so far in front at the break.

Awesome crowd btw

 

[tiger_nick]

have the dragons actually scored a try off a backline move this year? every try seems to be off a kick or arsey good fortune.

Creagh has scored two standng in the backline.... does that count ?
We have bombed plenty. It will come, our attack is still embryonic (i love saying that)

 

[Bazal]

We just can't hold the ball in crucial situations...have bombed probably 2 or 3 tries through a poor offload or a dropped ball.

EDIT-And KK drops it after a good bust as I speak...dammit

Dragons goal line defence has been awesome too

Jeremy Smith given 10 mins in the sin bin

 

[Bazal]

That sin bin was fairly harsh....

Is saffy playing? I havent seen him or anything so far. Surely he wouldnt go from starting prop to out? I've seen a bench that includes a forward, a hooker, a winger and halfback but surely that wasnt the final bench?
