Yeah baby.

So good to get a first up win. Thought we had made a meal of it.

 

[glossydoll]

I was so nervous but the Mighty Dragons showed their inner strength. Well done boys, I will dream tonight of many more to come!!!!!

This Steve Price is grown from man to dragon: he has wings, he's more than a creeping thing.

Shakespear, CORIOLANUS (V.iv.11-14)

Our attack looked really good at times tonight under the conditions there's already alot more second phase play. We are only gonna get better from here.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

First time they have ever won a golden point game

First time they have ever won a golden point game

I think you are correct - no wonder I have never liked Golden Point

Great effort boys. Sure there were plenty of sloppy moments and dumb plays (Fien's kick out on the full, scott's pass from the scrum on the 1st tackle????), but to win despite that shows the steel the team has to grind out a victory. We will only get better from here. Fien's clangers certainly changed the game negatively for us and as soon as King is ready, I would have him on the bench in Fien's place. Prior could use some super glue but they do target him when he fires up and the Newie boys dropped their fair share too, so he wasn't out of place there. Chase or Vidot to centre soon too, scott back to the forwards. But overall very happy with the win.

Rein, nightingale, and de belin, cant decide who was the best on ground

 

[TheRev]

Was a good win, the forward domination was great, and Sowies goalkicking was spot on, makes me think he may have worked on it in off-season, yum!

Only change needed is Scott out of centres, I mentioned this last week, but he stifles our attack too much, especially when we were starting to look strong on the right side.

 

[ForestDragon]

Great win Dragons.Thought Merrin was outstanding comIng
Off the bench

 

[j0nesy]

Nightingale had a blinder. The bloke has no fear and leaves nothing out there. Good effort from the lads, I was also very impressed with De Belin, Rein and Lattimore.

 

[Stagger Lee]

We won! I'm drunk and here is a good pic thanks to ABC

Typical rockstar behaviour. This kid is a troublemaker.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Not wanting to throw cold water on things, I'm stoked. But why did we stuff around so much with only a few minutes to go. Had a couple of good opportunities to nail the game before golden point. Seems ridiculous to try anything fancy, especially in wet conditions when a field goal is there for the begging. I thought we got out of jail in the end, though we deserved to win.

 

[Minh]

Credit must go to Steve Price too, I can already see that he has put his stamp on our team already with some enterprising play, without much compromise to ball handling and defense.

 

[PeterMudgee]

Mitch Rein was the stand out
Our plays were more structured when he
was guiding us around.
Jamie Soward was the new Darius on the left side attack.
A great 1st up hitout

 

[Willow]

Always been a fan of Mitch Rein. Nothing against Fien who has been a great asset, but Rein just has the speed from dummy half.

 

[TheRev]

Id almost be ready to try Rein + King as a combo, it did feel quite lackluster with Fein out there, as much as I love his wealth of experience. We can always get him back in if it doesnt work out.
