That's a great read. Gutho has somehow become a fan favourite before he's even played so much as a trial. I think most fans can sense what he's bringing to the club. I know my Parra supporter mate is very unhappy that he's been let go and replaced with a rookie.

We're very fortunate to have Gutho. He's exactly what we required.

Every time I think about it I get triggered so bad. I hated Manu with every fibre of my being after that moment.

Yep, I liked Manu before that incident.

I am actually really enjoying the bitter rivalry we are developing with the Bulldogs. And I think the Bulldogs like it too.
The fact that Gus wants the Dogs V Dragons in Vegas 26' says a lot about the draw this match is starting to build.

That would sell out the stadium, defs would be a few fights on the strip leading up to the game. Can't trust the grubby dogs fans when they're cocky.

I actually openly stated the NRL would want and hate this game with equal measure
Dogs fans in Vegas is bad juju
Dogs fans V Dragons fans who have never taken their shit, is a powder keg

Any fan hating another team is good for the NRL because it sells itself… there isn’t much of a rivalry anymore

Tribalism is good for the game

Tribalism is good for the game

Agree, but do you think an NRL player really cares about rivalry

I do.
You often hear them say that they love playing against certain teams because of the rivalry.

Seriously?
Bulldogs and Sharks, when playing us, will disagree not to mention the Roosters and Anzac day or even the charity shield.

Much different to our previous captain who was only too willing to abuse teammates instead of encouraging.

I know it is a trial but we seem to be the only club running the full team out there, so we are going to want a pretty good showing on the scoreboard. Makes for interesting watching as a Dragons fan!

Eyes will be on the recruits but it's the depth players from the reserves which will be crucial for us this year. Hope the likes of Tonga, Lawson, Egan and Buchanan mark their mark on the game.

I'm keen to see how our halves link up with Gutho. We finally have a good ball playing FB, also big Loko and Latu should get some good minutes tonight. Hopefully no injuries and some positive signs I'm nervous and pumped at the same time

Has anyone seen a team list for the NSW Cup trial? Just wondering who is outside the Top 30, and the NSW Cup section of the Dragons website hasn't been updated for '25.

It was a massive team, I believe jersey flegg and NSW cup combined.

Yep, I'm champing at the bit.

The current game is pretty dull so far (Tiges/Dogs)
