I just love it when the opposition fans and media build us up. ;-). How quickly things change.

Maybe that was more an indictment on the club than the coach.. Without him, what have they achieved?

The same - 2 pfs and a GF - in 5 years that Smith achieved in 10. And two games were against contract cheats, could well have been 2 premierships. Smith never lost to contract cheats.

A whole lot of pissing in the wind in this thread. I can't speak for other Dragons fans, but I for one was looking forward to playing Canberra. Whether or not we would have beaten them is something that will never be known, but on what they showed against the Broncos, I was not at all worried. The simple fact is, if we're good enough to win it, we're good enough to beat whoever we face. Manly in their current state is certainly a prefereable proposition to Canberra, but having an easy game followed by a week off may not necessarily be the best preparation for a Grand Final qualifier.

We will handle Manly, I am hopeful with Bennett at the helm we should get over the line this year and cast away old demons.

Who gives a sh*t what they showed to the Broncos. Their matches against Bulldogs, Storm and Cronulla in the leadup to the St. Merge game were hardly inspiring, and they still put 32 points on your scum club in one half of football.

so because Souths can't tackle, Saints can't win it?

:lol::lol::lol:

thats right, if the dragons play a side that can actually defend they will be back to scoring only 20points max and i cant see that being enough this time of year to take a title, they know how to find their worse form come this time of year and im sure they wont let themselves down in bringing that form once again.
Raiders have shown how to beat the Dragons Twice this season in smashing their forward pack and giving no room to the backs.
If dragons cant win the forward battle they have got no chance to win by all out attack as they just dont have what it takes to play that style of footy against decent opposition

I wonder what the odds will be for a Manly win over St George-llawarra this Sunday? Go the underdog!

We heard all this tripe this time last year and we saw what happened..the Okis choked 2 weeks in a row and were bundled out quick smart.
As usual the Saints are lucky with other teams injuries and the refs seem to dislike Manly this year so Saints will get their usual share of 4th and 4th tackle penalties..however if Saints go into the game with an arrogant mind set then Soward will play one of his shockers and get back on the grog, the Siants forwards will go MIA and Boyd will live up to his status as one the comps biggest myths..it will be business as usual fro the Oki Chokies.

Up until the last 2 weeks scoring 20 against Saints was amost unthinkable. Still the last GF you needed to score more than 20 points was 2001.

this week the temperature will be cold and will be like playing in canberra anyway last week against broncos it was humid so the players tire easy, this will be a problem if we get through this week and the weather starts to heat up a bit.
still think we can win but never over confident with us as we can play very poorly at times

You heard it all well before the finals... that talk stopped around round 23-24 when we started losing games pretty badly. Anyone who paid attention expected us to go out the way we did. We were in a massive rut and our forward pack wasn't doing their job, it started well before the finals. If memory serves me correctly we were 1 from 4 at this point last year. This year we're 3 from 4. We're in significantly better shape this year.

How about after watching the video of us play you a few weeks ago? We haven't lost since then.

The Broncos did put up a better fight than your lot. 32 points in 40 mins.

What was that about Saints fans trolling Canberra fans?
