Can anyone challenge the Dragons in the 2022 premiership?

[BennyV]

I'm nervous because in a GF match up, the team that won during the season typically loses the GF.

Ahhh, you’ve recognised the long game from Griffin and the Dragons. Take as many losses as possible during the season so that we have the psychological edge against whoever is unfortunate enough to meet us in the GF.

This is big brain stuff.

On that performance against the Sharks I say almost every team will challenge us. Keep up that rubbish and we are headed for the wooden spoon.

I refuse to comment on the game until I know what @SBD82 thinks of the performance

 

[SBD82]

Another incredible move by the 2022 premiers in the 4D chess game that is the 2022 season.

Playing possum to lengthen the premiership odds and allowing the players to load up and offset their salaries. This is how you keep a premiership squad together and ensure that long term success isn’t undermined by the cap.

Admittedly doing it against the Sharks to give their fans false hope is cruel, but it just shows the ruthless mindset of the 2022 premiers.

The Eels will be looking forward to testing themselves against the 2022 premiers after overcoming another middling team last weekend.

Mitchell Moses will be breathing a sigh of relief that Sua has been given a holiday, and we may even get to see him run the ball.

Should be a cracking game of footy, but even the tactical genius of Paul “Mary” McGregor won’t be enough to get the Eels within striking distance of the 2022 premiers.

The smart money is on the Dragons in a canter

3 games and we've had 3 sin bins.

Can we go for number 4?

I won't be satisfied until the whole team is sent to the sin bin and our line defence remains impenetrable.

6-1 starts for the April Disgraces umm I mean April Premiers haven't worked so far, so they're going to try for a 1-6 April record to see if their chances improve.
Hell, why not give it a try..

 

[SBD82]

The 2022 premiers are a noble team. They couldn’t be bothered turning up against an also-ran side like the Eels, but made sure that they did just enough that we can continue to enjoy the 50 point thread.

Such a giving team. We truly are blessed to have them as our 2022 premiers.

The Dragons have now lulled the rest of the competition into a false sense of security and will now go undefeated for the remainder of the year. This team demonstrates the confidence and disdain that only the greatest can afford.

 

[bubs]

The Dragons are now approaching the 1-6 start they are aiming for this year after another stand out performance from the team.
Scoring 12 points against the Rabbits really goes to show they can score points almost at will against any and all opposition. Next weeks opposition would be well advised to NOT let the Dragons get within 30 points or so with 10 minutes to go.

 

[The_Frog]

The Dragons are going all right but St Helens seem to have their number.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Looks like a lot of teams

Not mine that's for sure

 

[SBD82]

The 2022 premiers announced themselves today with a dominant display against a premiership heavyweight.

Easy to see why the smart money is flowing in for the Dragons to win the comp.

 

[Parkway_Drive]

The 2022 Premiers dastardly plan to lose to the Knights after being offside after the late game kick-off was wrecked by the incompetent NRL officials. Even when they try to lose, they win.

 

[bubs]

The first 20 minutes of that game was really very slick by the 2022 Premiers. Not showing teams what they are capable of, and spending the first quarter of the game pretending to be struggling to play the game. Chess moves.
Special shoutout to Aaron Woods, who was spotted in Reserve Grade plodding around. The fact that one of the 2022 premiers' marquee signings is in reserve grade in round 6 shows how much skill and nerve is available to the Premier's coach. Chess moves.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

What Zac Lomax did is no worse than what Crichton did last year.

 

[fizman]

I shouldn't be declaring this is a Public Forum, but the NRL are seriously considering reintroducing the rules from 1956 so the Dragons can win the 2022 Premiership.

 

[bubs]

The 2022 Premiers get to make a name for themselves this weekend against one of Sydney's most hated teams, the Chickens.
As another of Sydney's most hated teams, will the 2022 Premiers step up and ruin Uncle Nick's day, or will they attempt to lengthen their odds for Premiership glory in 2022 with another pretend inept display like the first 20 minutes of last weeks game? Only time will tell. The wheels are turning in the Premiers hierarchy, that's for damn sure.
The current odds of $81 to win this year might not quite be enough yet for the team to spring into action. Maybe wait for the magic $200 before making the necessary moves.

 

[SBD82]

The only reason this match will be remembered is because Tuesday isn’t a public holiday.

The 2022 premiers should easily dispose of their middling opposition and move on to the genuine contenders that they face the following week.
