[Valheru]

I thought dragons would give it a red hot crack this year but those were 2 bad losses to start the season.

They will be 0-3 before playing an away game.

 

[This Year?]

Haven't lost to the Storm at Kogarah since 2015 and Bellamy's record v Flanagan is 52.9%
PENRITH showed us the way last week.
The good guys by 1-12.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Mmmmmmnnnope, not doing it.

Melbourne by 16

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Vlandy’s Mercy Rule to be enforced at Half Time.

We have to make sure little kids aren’t scarred for life with what they are about to see.

 

[Fangs]

Can smell an ambush. Not sure if they will have enough though.

Storm by 14.

 

[BrissieDragons]

I got to say Dragons will take this one by small margin. The way I see they are debuting a new youngster with shades of Cam Murray. My bet if they play well they can beat the depleted Storm.

Storm by 12

 

[Belza1]

How far out of Sydney is Kogarah. Is there plenty of parking,what train line from Sydney

 

[BrissieDragons]

So the team list came out and seems Dragons have a better bench than Storm have. Two new young gun prop/forwards plus Klemmer to bolster their new attack. Liddle is good number 14 back up.

Yep

Superior bench...
Inferior spine.
Inferior pack.
Inferior coach.

Dragons superior by 2

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Not far enough.

Of course there will be plenty of parking. Who wants to watch a team more famous for their wrestling than their football against a team that got their players out of a nursing home?

I’m pretty sure the train line was disconnected to Kogarah when wearing Hazmat Suits became mandatory.
