Dragons V Sharks Round 4

[justadragon]

If the boys can put all the distractions aside and play the way they did against the Broncs in the first half we will be a good chance. If the weather is going to be a bit iffy and we get dominated up front it will certainly be a struggle. No doubt our back 3 will get tested especially Sloan, but the kid is learning and handled most things last week. I'm more confident of them this year than I was last year so for me its Dragons by 8, go the Dragons !!!

Game Day!
Should be a ripper, reckon it will be a good test of our resilience, will have to play for 80 min to win, Sharks will keep coming all day.
Way to win is through the middle, quick play the balls, offloads. In attack they play very side to side, I actually think their attack has looked a bit shit this year, like a training drill.
Maybe Nicho will change that, need to put pressure on him.
22 - 18

Keep running at Moylan, Finnucane, Rudolf & Uele to keep them moving as they do tend to get lazy in defence when tiring

 

[mickeylane]

Very very close game.. who’s going to take the field goal shot for us to win this.. could be our downfall.. but I’ll take a punt and say that Sullivan steps up and becomes our hero Dragons 21-20 in front of 15,000+

 

[Illusion]

If everything goes our way , Ref calls , Bunker and sharks have an off day , then yep we can snag a win ......

 

[Dragon David]

Hopefully the guys have trained really hard for this match and not have been too distracted with the Hook saga/drama. I guess they are used to this more or less since Hook has been the coach and now that we have these assistant coaches in Carr and Woolf, I can see that the players' attitudes will be more than positive. Our guys have toughened up a fair bit since last year and we need Hunt to really step up and play a big game today.

We win in a tight one is what I am predicting.

 

[SGMax]

A win today would be enormous.
Dragons top 4 and sharks into the cellar.
Dragons were easily the better team in the 1st half last week.
If we can get back to that and maintain it we're in with a great chance.

 

[blacksafake]

Old ginger nut with no eyes & devoid of any personality does like a six again so hopefully the home crowd can be responsible for some in our favour.

 

[Grapple]

Cronulla you are my last leg in a multi. Please win for Grapple you beautiful bastards.

 

[Grapple]

I just realised where I posted this thinking it was live game day spoilers thread. Drinking wine at lunch time will do that. What an asshole.... sorry fellas.

(good luck Dragons)

Dave it should do the opposite,,
Fairly obvious now that unless something extroardinary happens ,Hook will be shown the door, sooner rather than later.
With a new Coach on the way ALL PLAYERS are on Notice .
Everyone playing for their futures..
Those that definitely want to stay will be busting their arses ...Great incentive to perform for all ......
Today we need to control possesion , minimise those stupid mistakes and a good kicking game pinning the Sharks in their own half for the majority..
Dragons by 4

 

[This Year?]

Cronulla you are my last leg in a multi. Please win for Grapple you beautiful bastards.

If it was Bunniesman or Someone2 (that Eels fan or whatever his handle is) I'd be putting my house and my kids on Saints to win.
Now I'm as nervous as someone who has to get the last leg of a multi for a big payout.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Dragons must move them around and control the ball to win this game.

Most important part of tonight's game.

Suli's touch, and a few knock ons really killed us. Fix that and we will be right.

A repeat effort by the forwards, Hunt gets his kicking game back, Lomax needs to have his kicking boots on and Bud could be the difference.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

I'm pretty confident the Dragons will win tonight. Every so-called "expert" at NRL.com has tipped the Sharks! Talk about the "kiss of death". Those numbnuts know even less than me about tipping winners.

Dragons by 10.

 

[Number of the Beath]

The optimist part of my brain says Saints by 20-8.
The realist part says that poor hands, soft defense around the ruck and low-percentage B Hunt miracle plays that don't come off - plus a real rogering from the peanut with the whistle - will see a reversal of that scoreline at best.
For once, I'm in an optimistic mood. Hopefully it lasts until after 8:15pm ESDT.

 

[jodragon40]

Not a bad crowd that's a plus. But not a good start

Mbye in #9 = Dragons Footy on Mogadon

 

[Number of the Beath]

You've heard of the Midas Touch?
Well, B Hunt has the Midarse Touch today ie everything he touches turns to shit

 

[brissiedragon]

If we keep letting them run 20m each tackle then we will lose by 30+
