Have We Become Predictable?

[nathanbrown'sghost]

The only way I'd think it was in the bag is if we were in the grand final and had a 7 point lead with 30 seconds remaining.

lol 8 point tries are all the rage with the refs this year.

 

[SilentAssassin]

I stand corrected. :lol:

That would be enough to make a grown man cry if it were to happen!

Another thing I find funny...
Most experts death riding us from a few weeks ago, were all saying the Dragons had peaked too early, and that we cant perform any better, where other teams can.
I find this complete and utter bullsh*t.
We have been the most consistent team all year, but never have we played anywhere near where we are capable. Against brisbane (1st time), melbourne and cowboys (2nd time) and manly we played very well but did not look 100% perfect. We simply did what we had to do for the rest.
And saturday we find ourselves facing a souffs side that has just learned their season s over.
50/50 call that one.
one side playing for pride.
the other desperate to regain focus.

It is bullsh*t , the other sides what been playing good have been against sides who havent turned up what makes them look better then they are.

Where the dragons have been playing sides what have turned up and playing near thier best


I laugh at the comments by these so called experts

This sounds like the "we have no attack" threads at the start of the year

 

[hardbaby]

No we have attacked very well for most of the season. My concern is that teams are sussing us out. I think our counter attack is the best in the league but by definition this relies upon mistakes made by our opponents. It is the structured play that has me concerned. One very good point to come out of this discussion is that Bennett probably wouldn't show his hand this close to the finals. He certainly is showing any of his moves. Let's hope he does have some variations but doesn't want to reveal them at this point.

 

[Hanscholo]

Its hard to dominate an entire season, you have nearly done that. I wouldnt be too worried if the boys take a nap for a couple of weeks. You will make the top 4 and there is no doubt in my mind Bennett will have them up for for week one. Its just a matter of getting home the best you can now, then firing up when it really counts.

 

[j0nesy]

When the boys ran out on the field I commented to my mate that they looked flat. They were flat all night. The Broncos were pretty good, they were definitely the better team, but I didn't think they were great. Smith is very unfit and I thought he was ordinary. Sailor was off his game. Boyd was in sideways mode. The forwards were dropping the ball. Our line speed was poor, although our tackling was decent. It was just an off night. I'm not worried, I trust Bennett. In the press conference after the Melbourne game (I think) Bennett warned us not to be surprised if we drop a game or two.

 

[dragondad]

If Smith is unfit, I want to know why. He should be jumping out of his skin after missing so many weeks.

 

[BIKER DRAGON]

Yep the Dragons have become very predictable

That predictable that anyone with half a brain knows, that this years premiership is the Dragons.

Don't you remember a certain grand final and a certain penalty try?

Come on Steelers, Wayneo needs to sharpen up your attack a tad!

Against the Melbourne Storm in 1999.

No sorry can't say i can remember that at all.

 

[Drain the Dragon]

I can't understand this "predictable" bullsh*t. If scoring more tries and stopping the opposition from scoring many, and beating the other sides for most of this season is predictable, then yes we are. But isn't that the the name of the game? I'm sure most other sides would like to be as "predictable" as we are.

If you're talking about tactics and game plans, then it's every NRL coach's job to come up with ways of beating the opposition every week. Then it gets down to the players executing on game day.

If the players don't execute, they usually get beaten.

That's whats happened with us the past two weeks.

Atleast one thing the thread does is let the nuffers feel good posting total sh*t. Maybe it is really employees of the Telecrap:roll:

Neither can Craig Smith.

 

[saint_of_cronulla]

the game of rugby league is predictable generally speaking. so are a lot of other sports. so no we have not become predictable and that's not why we lost the last 2 games. we lacked the hunger while our oppositions were more enthusiastic.

 

[BIKER DRAGON]

Neither can Craig Smith.

Who?
