2017 R1 - Dragons 42-10 Panthers @ UOW Jubilee

[JamesRustle]

Really? I thought Blake must have been fast. Not as impressive if Lafai is slow

Blake smoked a dart before commencing his chase and still cleaned him up before he ran 30m.

 

[Exsilium]

Moylan clearly doesn't want to put his body on the line, might lose his gig with nine if the face cops a hit.

 

[pantherz9103]

Just as I feared, bring the wrong attitude on a wet against a big forward pack playing like they have nothing to lose. Embarassing 'effort'.

 

[stormbati]

Have to admit I don't mind Ennis' commentating.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Wouldn't count the Panthers out yet.

There were a couple of games last year they looked horrendous but found a 15-20 min period in the second half to pile on points.

Will need a drastic improvement though.

Coward act from Moylan. Completely dogged that.

The whole team is doing it.

 

[Hawkins]

They have a training centre out west right?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Well that was horrendous from Penrith

You can't win or lose the premiership in Round 1 but holy f**k, you'd want to be beating St George when you're pretty much full strength

 

[TheFrog]

Dragons want this one. Panthers thought they just had to show up. Still early days though...

I thought Hook might've shown them vids of some of the hidings we've had at this place over the past 50 years.

They came in expecting the win. They think it will just take care of itself.

They arent turning it around. We dont have Mansour and DWZ starting sets off. We have guys who dont want to get tackled doing it.

The whole team is doing it.

The whole team aren't the rep playing captain on big money.

 

[JamesRustle]

Panthers play better with 9 on the field. Hook to rotate from an 8 man bench in the 2nd stanza.

 

[pantherz9103]

Obviously they've bought into the premiership favourites hype and forgot they actually need to turn up.

 

[TheFrog]

McGregor might not have the support of the Dragons fanbase but he has managed to send his team out ready to play as a unit.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Moylan keeps this form up, he can hand over his NSW number 1 jersey to Tedesco

 

[Hawkins]

Have to admit I don't mind Ennis' commentating.

Do you think he fiddles with the other commentators like he did in his playing days?

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Moylan IS a defensive liability at fullback, there is not much doubt about it. It's just a matter of deciding whether it is worth just accepting that to keep TMM and Cleary together.

That happened last year. You need to keep up.

Missing 2 international players and have 3 playing their first game in nearly a year.

New combinations being formed between both centre and wingers and the halves.

The effort is soft as f**k. But its not unexpected. They did this plenty last year.
