'10 PREMIERS | Dragons 32-8 Roosters | Grand Final | ANZ

[some11]

Harrigan gets a second chance to screw us out of a premiership...

Remember this? I'd say hes in your corner.

2005 – Dragons 44-6
2006 – Dragons 22-12 & 36-16
2007 – Roosters 18-4
2008 – Dragons 26-6 & Roosters 10-0
2009 – Dragons 29-0 & 34-12
2010 – Dragons 28-6 & 19-12
For such a supposed great attacking outfit, there are minimal points scored against the dragons this year with all of their point scoring "guns".:roll:

 

[_Johnsy]

Yes but in both those games the dragons were only ever behind by 2 points. What is yet to be determined though is whether the dragons can change their game style and chase a victory if they find themselves 10-14 points down at some stage.

Our defence is that good this year that would be highly unlikely, especially given the roosters really struggle to score points against us.

 

[grandorient]

Current betting, Dragons $1.60, Roosters $2.35.

I thought it might be a little bit coser than that, considering the c**ks impressive win.

GO

Calm down gaba...

Cling to the last 2 games all you want. A lot can (and has) changed since then...

 

[Gaba]

A lot can (and has) changed since then...

That where the pressure will be on the roosters, to prove what has changed.

They will have to play a different game in defence and maintain it and try to score against defence.

 

[_Johnsy]

All i heard was blah blah blah, actually it sounds like you are trying to convince yourself.

dragons team is predictable and i think roosters be too good cause we have carney and SKD and i think will run around them in the backs. dragons might have slightly better pack i dont no but i think it probably even but with roosters having much better halves and backs i think we a better team

I think disagree.

the roosters halves have struggled against the dragons. Hornby has dominated pearce in the games they have played.

Our defence is that good this year that would be highly unlikely, especially given the roosters really struggle to score points against us.

Regardless of whether it is unlikely or not, it still could happen and the game would be effectively over if we are 12 or more in front.

They will have to play a different game in defence and maintain it and try to score against defence.

Why? We held the titans, who play nearly an identical game style to the dragons, to 6 points and ended up scoring 32.

Well we can forget about all those games as they were either with completely different teams or when we were playing with Carney at FB, Anasta at 5/8 and Mini on the wing.

12 points isn't much in the last game, but we didn't play particularly well that day. Partly our own fault and partly because your chaps didn't let us.

Obviously the challenge is the correct that on Sunday.

 

[Timmah]

The Dragons weren't at the top of their game either to be honest, I wouldn't read alot into that game.

Titans this yeah haven't been remotely close to anything shown by the Dragons.

 

[CMUX]

Yes they have, they play the same grinding “hang in there” style of play. I didn’t say they were as good as the dragons at it.

 

[_Johnsy]

I have a feeling those doubting our attack will be surprised on Sunday.

(Hornby, Soward, Gasnier, Cooper, Nightingale, Morris & Boyd) Yeah real nuffies with the ball in hand.

 

[Sleep]

They have been of late. Boyd and Morris have been well out of form. Gasnier hasn't shown much at all since coming back either.

The Dragons looked flat against the Tigers last week. If that happens again this week they're in trouble. The Roosters are in great form.

This biggest key is Weyman. I don't think they'll be able to get away with him only playing 35 minutes. He's easily the Dragons best prop and they'll need him out there more than that.
