Battle for the ages R21.

I would love to see Lomax play fullback the rest of the season and Tamale in the centres

Agree. We've got to do better than have Sloane at fullback. He'll keep getting targetted until he learns how to catch and tackle. He's got a better chance of learning that in reserves.

Dunno what went wrong with Rava tonight, he's normally not that inept defensively.

Good to win the spoon bowl. Bloody hell we are a bunch of deadshits. Good to see Lomax play well. Doing his best to get a new contract. How did we ever become so friggin bad? I have an empty feeling. Not happy. Not sad. Just empty. Goodnight lads

Congrats to Rava for scoring the match winning try.

Of course it wouldn't have been needed if he hadn't conceded all three of the tigers' tries!

 

[RedVDave]

Wins are so infrequent this year I'll happily take it.

Lomax was awesome tonight.

Sloane is utter rubbish so scared of getting tackled he runs from the field of play into the our own in goal. Tigers get a repeat set he's simply awful.

A new contract? He's signed until 2027.

A new contract? He's signed until 2027.

He’s been told to look elsewhere as he’s on too much, so he has to show clubs he’s worth the $ he’s on. Or am I wrong?

Lomax all class as Dragons get better of Wests Tigers

A liberal helping of Zac Lomax brilliance and the steady hand of Ben Hunt led the Dragons to a hard-fought 18-14 win over Wests Tigers at WIN Stadium on Thursday night.

what did you think about the "new" jack Bird tonight ? he seems to have stacked on the kilos and obviously his knees are giving him grief . Do you hope carr spells him and give musgrove or someone else a go ?

 

[Lovemedragons]

Sloan sin bin was what led to 2 tries, could also argue he let the first one in too.

 

[2010Dragons]

Cripple fight of the season.
Both teams real tried hard to find a new way to lose this horrible game to watch.
I think the Matildas could have beaten the Dragons and tigers combined.
But the tigers made the Dragons look like a top 8 team.

 

[DfL]

On a positive note I really enjoy carr’s interviews and post match press conference. He’s honest and accountable, keeps it straight to the point. Good Flanagan is keeping him around!

There was one 6 again and we got it.

I must have been on a piss/drink break and I missed it.

But still, there should have been many more for us during the game that we have copped for against in matches prior.

At our current shitness, we can somewhat compete for 13 v 13 in some games, but we can't win with 13 V's the WWE 1 dodgy ref and dodgy 2 touchies and a dodgy blind bunker.

That's like 17 v's 13 off the bat and like tonight we lost Sloan for 10 mins (for what I don't know still......and if anything TT should have received 10 in the bin when he prevented Sloan at dummy half with all the push and shove crap).

I'm hating this game more and more with every game I watch, and it's not just US that cop it, It's right across the board and the big clubs seem to get the rub of the green more often to get the majority of screen time to enhance TV ratings on Kayo and Foxsorts in the playoffs.

It's so plain to see.......NRL is a farce compared to when I played this once wonderful game

Absolutely agree with you. Looks like the games are staged by Nrl, Kayo and nine to get the best ratings outcome.
What has happened to the game I once loved playing and never missed watching my beloved mighty Dragons play?... Oh how the mighty have fallen.
where did it all go wrong?
Changa langa, Harry Bath, Norm sticks Proven, Robert Stone would all be turning in the grave watching this rabble impersonate the true Dragons hard men of the bygone era.

Most of the current wannabes don’t even look like rugby league players. Most of them just look and play like athletes who missed out on the basketball team.

Imagine the celebrations if we had actually done anything of note this season.

I know they have to work hard to win a game and they are letting loose but I find this cringeworthy given the context of another woeful season.

Make no mistake, there is nothing much between the two worst teams in the competition. Apart from some Lomax brilliance, I thought the match was pathetic, worse than a B grade movie.

Watching our wingers come in & 99% of the time get stranded is so frustrating. As I have said on previous posts the coaches are obviously not doing anything about it or they would be replaced & spending some time in reserve grade to lean the basics of wingers play. Opposition coaches must laugh at how dumb we are week after week. Rant over !
