Well, played like we'd met each other an hour ago and still only lost by 4 against the apparent 2015 Premiers.

You could say the same for us, and we were missing our two starting props and arguably our best back.

The scoreline did not reflect the Roosters dominance in that game. And they were way under strength. The dragons goal line defence was good, that's about It. I think the slide has begun for them.

Hahahaha you have no idea how close that is to the mark!

I don't know that I can deal with the shame of allowing Shaun Kenny Plod to win a man of the match award from the wing.

And yet the Dragons were a long, long, long way from their best. Hmmm....

Don't know why Dragons fans are shoveling so much shit on their side. I thought both teams pretty well.

Sure, the attack for each team seemed a bit patchy, but that was largely due to both defensive lines being lightning quick all night. The few times that either side were able to actually beat the up and in defence we saw a couple sweet tries (SKD's 2nd, and the Widdop try).

RTS getting out of the ingoal was the match winning clutch play. Dragons had all the momentum, had a good set, put in a perfect kick and had Roger trapped for all money. If they'd caught him I have no doubt they win the game. Going to miss that guy next season, there is no getting round it

There's a reason for that. They just weren't allowed to play very well by a better team that dominated them in the ruck. Only poor finishing by the Roosters and strong goal line defence from the Dragons stopped that game being a big blowout to the Roosters.

Dragons have way over achieved to get where they are in my opinion. They've done well but I think other teams have worked them out now and the slide has begun.

The Dragons kicking game was terrible and their line speed in defence gave the Roosters too many easy metres. It felt to me like most of the game was being played in the Dragons end.

In attack, there wasn't that much creativity and only in the last 15-20 minutes they started using their limited trick shots.

The Roosters were outstanding from start to finish and if it wasn't for a few derpy moments from both Pearce and Maloney then the score line might have showed how much better the Roosters really were on the day.

I bet sides running at the bottom of the ladder would love to be able to 'fluke' wins over the Broncos, Roosters and Bulldogs.

I thought it was a decent match that the chooks dominated for the most part. Our defence was staunch again only allowing 2 tries, one off a mistake and the other a great length of the field effort (full credit to the dragons). That length of the field effort invigorated saints and gave them a shot to win a game which is what good sides do when it isn’t their night.

How St George back up next Saturday against parra will be very interesting. Parra are always competitive at pirtek so they will want to show up.
