Too bad Toby was concussed. Hope he is OK. He played well and he really helps in the defence for us.

I don't want to be flippant, but can't Hook just pick Ryan in Toby's place? No one would notice the difference!

We had a couple of modern day club legends out there during the pre-game build up - Ben Creagh & Jason Nightingale.

But, I feel a new modern day club legend has started to come of age - Blake Lawrie !

Savour each win.

That's all I can think.

Really pleased with the effort today. Was a moment there when it looked like we were returning to our usual footy but we fought back with 3 tries in 8 minutes and then just powered on in the second half. Regardless of the opposition I can't think of a better second half domination in recent memory.

The likes of Sloan and SUllivan are going to have their down moments. They will stuff up and cost us tries etc. It's inevitable, but we must persist with them and I believe they will pay it back three-fold.

Clean up our goal line defence and we will win a few more games this year.

exciting stuff, missed most but came into a bar just as Sloan made his break, either too exciting or not exciting enough for the Dragons website team to update the ladder from 22 to 23.

3 soft tries wasn’t great.

BUT they way they started with real energy, you could see them putting in. In addition, they fought back at a time they could have folded Made me feel so much better.

I know it’s only the titans, and they invited us in a lot, but so proud today. bring on the broncs

It's easier to blood rookies in a winning side. Sullivan looked a little lost out there at times but was relaxed enough not to worry about a mistake costing him his spot. The slow build in the top grade that benefitted Lachlan Ilias & Sammy Walker last year. How majestic did Tyrell look BTW?
Huge game for our Qld base to get to next week!

agreed - a great win... the team was tight and worked as a team.
Now let's get our supporters to combine as one and support the boys at ALL our home grounds and within the ALL our regions.

I watched the game yesterday and saw the horrible start with what appeared to be confusion and no commitment. However i slowly saw a new team appear. We had second phase play with forwards passing and all the new guys having an absolute real crack at it. I saw a new hooker that everyone had written off playing what i thought was a fantastic game and being rewarded with a try. We had enthusiasm and appeared to really want to be there. All the stuff thats been missing for years suddenly there. I think even I have written them off prematurely, and im really looking forward to the rest of the season now. I finally thought i saw our pride restored, and it felt wonderful

I watched the start and other than 2 brain farts by us I thought we had the better of it.

The Titans might have been in front on the score board but that was by our mismanagement (and a leg up from the ref) more than their good play.

Yeah agree, i thought the hooker was the main reason for the go forward in attack. Such a difference when he came on.

We need to let Manly know about this.

Half their team won’t tackle us.
