[Valheru]

Canberra close to a loss. Not having big paps in the pack might be what gets the dragons over the line

 

[This Year?]

Teamlist Tuesday will be fun.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Hopefully we get to see Trey Mooney in action.

 

[Victoire]

I remember a time when we were back-to-back minor premiers, when we'd go on huge winning streaks and even win a damn comp... but we'd STILL get lapped by the Raiders in Canberra.

 

[skeepe]

Hopefully we get to see Trey Mooney in action.

Was really hoping he’d be a permanent member of the first grade squad by now.

I know he’s always thereabouts and probably next man up when Papalii leaves at the end of the season, but I really thought this would be the season he put it all together.

Remember the Soward field goal and cocky strut back, which was then followed by a short Raiders kick off and Dugan scoring off a McCrone grubber to steal the win? Dragons signed both of those guys due to that play probably.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Im tempted to tip Saints, but I just want to see that crazy Insta fan who hates Kyle lose his mind again.

Canberra by 8

Nah I don't remember that game in 2011 at all. Pretty sure we didn't lose 4 straight games after that Canberra nightmare to tumble from 1st down to 6th just before the finals either. And I highly doubt that we signed Vidot, Joel Thompson, Sam Williams and Bronson Harrison too. Nonsense.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

we love swapping players

I prefer to remember the chaos times of 2016 when Simple Jack through an intercept to Aitken in his own 20m in GP for the winning try. There was also a power outage as the Dragon's forgot to pay the electricity bill in the same game.

Ahh the average ol days. I think our home winning streak over the Dragons went from 2000-2014 when you signed our kryptonite: Benji Marshall.

 

[This Year?]

I was about 20 rows back around near the 20 metre line on the same side of the field that Dugan scored the try..
I went with a couple of mates who told me all week the Dragons would win while I told them all there was no chance in hell.
After Soward kicked the field goal my friends told me I should have faith and I told them to stfu cos there was still 1 minute left.
The moment Dugan scored I got up and headed to the exit amidst the loud celebrations of Raiders fans and didn't say a word for about 2 hours after the game.
I never went to another game with them again.
