Dont know why people are so worried about the dragons attack it seems to be on par wiht the so called attacking sides

Broncos for 35 against 32
storm for 31 against 32
dragons for 32 against 27
goldcoast for 44 against 36
manly for 36 against 60
Warriors for 52 against 42

it shows if you got good defense then the attack will not be as important

oh c'mon !!!
we looked very disjointed in attack in both matches so far....
our halves simply arent firing...
most of our points have come off kicks...
its not all about for and against.... its about how fluent and organised we look.
but in saying all that Bennett isnt worried - so i'm not either :)

I think our attack is disjointed and unorganised at the moment. I'm impressed with our defence and our attitude though. I would be more worried if we had a great attack and bad defence.

Good source told me after the Melbourne game that benny hadn't worked on any attack yet and the last 1/2 he this week especially with priddis at dummy half we looked likely.

lol @ gaba trying to make excuses for his teams lack of attack.
Actually im showing its not that bad, yes it could be better no arguments , but the sides who are known for the better attacking abilities arent that better , thats the point im making.

Dragons havent shown any flair but even with flair the teams arent scoring that much better then the dragons, and its the dragons defense what is doing the job

Lies! Damn lies and statistics.
The attack does look on par until you look at our metres gained and set completion data. As will all statistics; you can tell any story that you like and find something to back it up. Sophistry thrives in an environment of half-truths afforded by the massive amount of data now available. We either watch the games and make up our own minds of look at all the data available with appropriate weighting before getting anywhere near reality
We have created more opportunities than other teams through the back-bending runs of our forwards and big Dell. Our halves have not afforded the creativity to capitalise on superior field position. Old habits die hard. Benny will come up with some answers and we will overcome

But you always bag sharks for having terrible attack...even though they have top notch defence.

Your stats are rubbish btw. You conveniently left out that there are 11 clubs with more points scored that Dragons. Including Roosters. Who you also bag for having no attack.

Sharks are only 2 pts behind Dragons. If Sharks attack is useless, what does that make Dragons?

Btw, to the sensible types out there, this is all irrelevant as its round 2. Just showing Gaba's bias yet again

Our attack certainly hasn't been good this year.
We racked up some points in our first 2 trials, but from the Charity Shield onwards we have looked horrible in attack.

Agree with you Adamkungl...it's only round 2, if it was round 22 and we still looked horrible it would be cause for concern.

Again you are showing yourself to be wrong again

Roosters played souths scored 12 points and they got 50 put on them against souths, i dont rate the roosters a top 8 side or a side what is an attacking side and the roosters played canberra who was not at their best, yes the roosters defense stopped thier attack


sharks played penrith and knights , games they should have won by plenty

they only scored 18 against penrith and 12 points against an 14 man knights team.
sharks are tipped by experts to finish in the top 4 again lol,

The dragons played storm, and the titans

The roosters and sharks havent played the same quality teams or similar as the dragons

His stats may be rubbish but they're looking a lot better than your predictions at the moment :D

LOL @ the scummer whose team showed all last year and especially last night that they have even less idea when it comes to attack.

Face it Dodger. You support a team of softcocks.
