09 :: R9 Sat :: Cowboys 24 Dragons 20 @ Dairy Farmers

[thommo4pm]

Haven't heard of any changes or team news today.
I would expect Beau Scott to be out for us, while I think the others will back up.

I have heard Jeremy Smith is a slim chance of playing...remains to be seen though, I highly doubt it.

Smith and Saffy out reported on 2GB

Smith and Saffy out reported on 2GB

I thought Saffy had passed his fitness test.
That's bad news....he has been in fine form for us.

 

[tiger_nick]

the tigers had to do the exact same thing about 5 years ago. we had senter, skandalis, ben galea and kev mcguinnes play city/country in wagga wagga friday night then fly to townsville the next night.

its a joke the way its been set up, obviously the dragons are going to be well represented in city/country.

 

[redvscotty]

Hot tip, go the Dragons 13+

Stop whinging Dragons fans about scheduling...Storm had to do it for the last 3 years and struggled as well.

 

[Slackboy72]

Gee, toyota cup team is tearing them apart. Heading for 50.

 

[OhWhenTheSaints]

We've done it before too.

But I don't recall a test and city country on the same night and there ONLY being the ONE game the next day that luck has it you're in up Nth Qld.

Having said that, not whingeing.... if we win we win. If we lose we lose.
Either way doesn't have a bearing on whether I believe it's poor scheduling.
Which I believe it is.

If that's the only people out then I say we've done pretty well.
