[GongPanther]

Should be a tight contest, after the cooler weather down here, will the Dragons succumb to the sudden heat and humidity? Pretty close contest, Tits by two.

 

[Valheru]

Very interesting game

The first game for 2 premiership winning coaches at struggling clubs

I'm going to say Dragons as Flanno seems desperate to start well if the trials are anything to go by although I think Titans will finish higher on the ladder.

 

[JamesRustle]

Dragons 13+

 

[jargan83]

Dragons Footy* is back.


*Not to be confused with actual footy.

 

[This Year?]

I'm nervous and excited.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Surprisingly, I'm interested.



Probably only because it's round one though.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Dragons are specials for March Premiers before falling off a cliff as is their want

 

[mozza91]

After a really shit year the Dragons have gone on one of the great recruitment drives netting the coaches son, the shitter Eisenhuth brother and a bloke the Bulldogs couldn’t wait to ditch.

Titans by 20.

 

[hineyrulz]

I'm nervous and excited.

Time for some Dragon’s footy!! And another season of hilarious game day threads.

 

[This Year?]

After a really shit year the Dragons have gone on one of the great recruitment drives netting the coaches son, the shitter Eisenhuth brother and a bloke the Bulldogs couldn’t wait to ditch.

Titans by 20.

It's the players Bulldogs reject that makes Dragons the best.

 

[chrisD]

Surely they've got to improve under Flanagan, if they don't then nothing makes any sense.

 

[Apey]

Two bottom 4 teams probably and maybe the hardest game of the round to pick. Going with Dragons in an 'upset'.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Another year of dragons footy

 

[This Year?]

Another year of dragons footy

That's the same face I make whenever we lose to the following:
Storm
Broncos
Bulldogs
Sharks
Same face minus the tears against the following:
Roosters
Eels
Tigers
Raiders

 

[Someone2]

Titans by 14

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

 

[Rhino_NQ]

yay tits

so whose playing?

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

It’s been a long off-season and I think I speak for many Saints fans when I say this, “I’m getting too old for this shit”.

 

[Grapple]

Degenerative life continues...

The Holy Moses Multi = 4 x units

ATS Moses Suli
ATS Mitchell Moses

Like the way Dragons are using Moses like Sharks are using Talakai, at least from what I saw in preseason. If he can generate some pace with the switch against covering defensive players I think it's a good move.

Good luck for 2024 Dragons fans.
