Dragons v Tigers round 5

[BrissyRedV]

Its OK OT you can discuss the game with me its obvious theres a couple on here that as you say know sfa about footy.....I thought there was times today when Mann absolutely put his body on the line

His defence against a bloke twice his size was outstanding. He is ridiculously strong for his frame.

Whatever mate. How good were the dragons today? That was their best performance this year in my opinion. They were fantastic! Oh when the saints!!!!!

Crush
They play to a plan and were very good.
There defence was great

Yea he has a good technique, as well as some ticker.

Ouch. 4 to 6 weeks for Duges then.

Could be but it was tallis who said that.
I don't see how anyone would now yet till they get scans ect

 

[JDHD]

Please enlighten me as to what he did wrong today to warrant the criticism?
By all means have an opinion but enlighten us as to how you formed it.
IMO with limited opportunities today because we obviously played with a long left hand side attack and he was deprived a bit re clean ball he did everything asked of him in attack and in defence was outstanding.
Very strong against some very big bodies.

His post-contact metres were particularly impressive. He's not a big guy but he always made metres against Idris, Lawrence and Grant.

On the radio they said duges grade 2 tear.

Mate has he had scans already

Thanks mate did you here anything at all BSE

 

[JDHD]

Yes, can't be happier...lets keep thus up...the players look happy and are playing as a unit. Tigers don't look a unified team to me...today's game plan..."throw it to Tedesco..."

Tedesco looked like he wanted out.

Handy win but still plenty of room for improvement. Forwards did great and Widdop has really stepped up this year. Our kicking game is very poor though. We virtually let them start their sets on or around their 30, which is basically the same as giving them a 7 tackle set so might as well kick for their in-goal and hope for the best. Constantly give good field position to the better teams and we'll pay dearly for that. Duges has been playing out of his well tattooed skin but still needs to look before he acts - can pass when a kick is on and vice versa, bombed an excellent scoring opportunity. So did Nene but luckily it didn't cost us. I'm sure Mary will point that out in the video session.
It's a good thing though that we're 2nd on the ladder and yet are capable of playing considerably better than we have been.
Well done boys, I'm really happy for them and, dare I say it, well done Mary who's obviously got the boys firing.

p.s. Mann played really well too, great hit on Idriss, picked the big bastard up and drove him backwards, good stuff !

I will be eating a lot of humble pie.

I think most of us have, it's a bit quite from the dooomdayers.

this is what the tigers were singing at full time

Tallis is hardly a reliable source but the doctors and physios would have a general gist of the injury through his signs and symptoms.

Tallis also implied that he was just trying to get a rest, so I wouldn't listen to that idiot.

Idris

Another myth. T Rex II.

Just on the dragons web site.
Pickworth said duges has strained his hammy but will not know full extent untill after duges has scan on monday morning

 

[MilanDragon]

I'd go Mann to FB.

By moving Nightingale we are effectively moving two pieces in our puzzle which impacts 2 areas.

By having Mann a direct replacement then it's only one area and he might be able to add the passing game that Dugan doesn't have.

Another myth. T Rex II.

He was a myth from his dog days, turnstyle defender.
