Game day V Roosters

[Dragonslayer]

Let's fire up today boys, embrace the ANZAC spirit and bring home a big win.

I hope Milne gets his chance, has a blinder and scores 2 tries on debut.

Any other changes? Late Mail etc?

I just hope Mary doesn't spring a complete surprise like......switching Dugan to Centre, Widdop to fullback and Mann to 5/8......?????

Good luck boys and go you mighty Dragons!!!!

 

[Minh]

Dragons will win today.

Straight Shooter

 

[Coffs dragon]

Hope the Anzac spirit brings out teamwork with some attacking tries and no one out stuff. Dragons to win in a close battle.

 

[Mickthedragon]

Can't wait to get out there again for this one.
Go you dragons and best of luck today.

 

[Red V for life]

Feeling comfortable we'll get the win today.

The local derby and ANZAC day are the two big regular season games for us. We didn't get up for the derby, I don't expect that to be an issue today. I expect us to be ready to rumble. We're also back in Sydney, have had a good turnaround after a long road trip to Qld and have some much needed confidence from last week.

I think the forwards are evenly matched today (even with Cordner's likely return). I don't expect the Roosters halves to give our defence too many headaches, but we do need to watch Jake Friend out of dummy half and Kenny-Dowell and Latrell Mitchell who can make something out of nothing.

...oh and we need to hold the ball and not give away stupid penalties.

A win today will go a long way to getting the season back on track.

 

[gitano]

Need to target Mitchell. He's very lazy, trying to copy the cool David Peachey but doesn't have the time.
Target him, he'll gift us errors as he always does

 

[Dragsters]

The footy gods have blessed us with a perfect day for the game after last years wrath of the gods!

Let's hope we earn a similar result and come out on top.

Pumped for a big one, can't wait to get there for what is always a fabulous day.

Victory for the big red V

 

[Miller was a legend]

I'd rather it be peeing down. Not good for the fans but the wet would suit the dragons game better. A dry track is probably in favour of the chook's.

Get that iron clad defence up and on song today boys

[Dragonslayer]

1 hour till 'Late Mail".

Will Milne be there?......................like waiting for the jury to give its verdict!!!!!

 

[Dragsters]

He has to be surely?

You know it makes sense....

 

[coast_dragons]

Mathews at centre Milne on the bench Mary has nfi.

 

[Dragonslayer]

He's in!!!!!!!

named on the bench, with Mathews named at centre......this will change when they run on......surely.

Good luck to the young man.

 

[coast_dragons]

I doubt it and its a wasted spot on the bench.

 

[TonyTrugett]

I doubt it and its a wasted spot on the bench.

Not necessarily. Mathews on for the early exchanges. Then into the forwards. Perhaps.

 

[GC Dragon]

You would think so . But that is not how our dickhead coach thinks . He would be thinking if we can get away with Mathews at centre and not have to use Milne at all that's a win .

 

[coast_dragons]

Milne will get a go in the 75th minute.
