Now that Hunt has an official (c) after his name, he can move on from (c)hoker to (c)aptain and lead the Dragons to an vastly improved season.

Dragons by 22.

 

[GongPanther]

Don't let the pre-season fool you. Dragons by 12.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Dragons should win. Predicting by 8. But I’m not confident at all.

My only confident prediction ... if we lose the torch and pitchfork brigade will be out in force as usual.

It’s St George fans they could put 40 on Cronulla and they’d still piss and moan.

The St George Illawarra Karens

 

[This Year?]

It’s St George fans they could put 40 on Cronulla and they’d still piss and moan.

You're damn right.
Anything under 50 is weak as piss!
Where did I leave my pitchfork?

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Where did I leave my pitchfork?

It’s with the bloodhounds out the back...

 

[THE CHAMP]

You're damn right.
Anything under 50 is weak as piss!
Where did I leave my pitchfork?

Might still be stuck in Mary

 

[Mr Angry]

We have a bad record round 1, local derby so usually close.

Is the fence strong?

 

[Silent Knight]

Ben Hunt vs Chad Townsend will be a utterly thrilling contest in this game. The creativity on offer will blow people's minds.

But I think we can all agree that the whole rugby league world will be watching with bated breath for the eruption of one Mikaele Ravalawa. The Giant of Galoa Island is best compared with a dormant volcano, lying quiet and out of sight over this past off-season, but he's set to blow with the power of a thousand Pompeiis and woe and betide anyone who stands in his way.

My prediction: The seismic shift of Mikaele Ravalawa will carry the Dragons to a 12 point win.

7 years of Mary's coaching sent my hair grey.

Let's see how long it takes Anthony Griffon to send me bald.

 

[Mr Angry]

Chad to Briton

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

0-0 draw

 

[Valheru]

Saints to win and their fans to rejoice.

I'm predicting a very tough year for the sharks in 2021.

 

[baselinepanther]

As much as the death riders were out in numbers after the charity shield
the Dragons to have a one under the W column after this game.

Both bottom 4 tho in 2021

You still have hair???? You sweet spring child!!

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Not exprcting much from the sharks until SJ is back. But after watching the dragons optional edge defence in the CS id be running talakai out in the centres to cause some carnage

 

[myrrh ken]

Well we have one home - theirs.

Anyway I think Stains will win. We are terrible starters.
